Dianthus 'Wicked Witch' PPAF (Wicked Witch Hardy Pink)

SunZone: 3-9 8" tall Origin: Hybrid

(aka: originally introduced as D. 'Red Devil') This new PDN introduction was discovered here as a flower mutation on our patch of Dianthus 'Feuerhexe' (Firewitch). Our trials have shown it to be identical to the PPA Plant of the Year, D. 'Feuerhexe', except in flower color, which is a lovely cherry red instead of the typical pink. The tight mats of powder blue foliage are topped in late April with 8" tall spikes of clove-like fragrant cherry red (RHS 66A) flowers that nearly obscure the foliage. As with the parent, we see sporadic rebloom through summer and into fall. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
