Dianthus 'Amazon Neon Cherry'( AMAZON SERIES)
Amazon Neon Cherry Sweet William, Sweet William
A nice new twist on an old favorite, this hybrid of the perennial D. barbatus (sweet William) blooms the first rather than the second year from seed. From late spring to fall, it bears large, showy, flat clusters of vivid rose-pink blooms, which attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The narrow leaves are glossy dark green.
This short-lived perennial likes sun and well drained soil, and tolerates hot summers. Excellent planted in masses, containers or mixed borders, it also makes a long lasting cut flower. Remove spent flowers to ensure continuous bloom and to keep the planting tidy.
