Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Fire Witch' has evergreen,<br />
blue-green linear foliage and showy, profuse, fragrant<br />
magenta-pink blooms Spring-Fall. Very good performer.<br />
Its spreading tendency makes it an outstanding groundcover,<br />
particularly on dry slopes. Many plants placed together create a<br />
pool of deep blue foliage when not in bloom.<br />
Tough, beautiful, and easy-to-grow. Recommended for<br />
borders, rock gardens, along walks or paths, and for edging.<br />
Grown close together, it is an excellent groundcover. With its<br />
grassy blue-green foliage and profuse blooming time, 'Fire<br />
Witch' is one not to miss. Deadhead to promote continued bloom.<br />
Dianthus needs a sunny site with well-drained soil, but will tolerate some shade in the afternoon. Heat and<br />
humidity resistant, cold tolerant and moderately tolerant of salt. Deer tend to avoid. Moderate growth rate.<br />
Mature size 6" high and 12-18" wide, spacing 6-12".<br />
