DIANTHUS 'Ideal Select Whitefire'( IDEAL SELECT SERIES)
Ideal Select Whitefire Sweet William, Sweet William
Fragrant, white flowers mottled with red cover 'Ideal Select Whitefire' from spring to summer. This short-lived, bushy perennial is a cross between the China pink (Dianthus chinensis) and Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus). It has a compact, uniform habit and produces dense clusters of small red and white flowers with toothed or "pinked" edges. Regular deadheading will prolong blooming.
Pinks grow best in full sun and prefer average to fertile soil with good drainage. These fine bedding plants make a great addition to sunny flower gardens, containers or rock gardens.
