Heat-Tolerant & Fragrant: Why We Love Dianthus ‘Firewitch’
Meet one of our most popular perennials! Dianthus ‘Firewitch’ is famous for its brilliant magenta-pink blooms and silvery blue-green foliage. This drought tolerant plant emits a sweet, clove-like fragrance. It serves as an excellent low-growing groundcover or border plant for Central Texas gardens.
Why we love Dianthus ‘Firewitch’ in Austin:
Heat & Humidity Tolerant: Unlike many other pinks, ‘Firewitch’ stands up remarkably well to our intense Texas summers.
Evergreen Interest: The blue-gray, grassy foliage stays attractive year-round, providing a cool contrast to darker green shrubs.
Pollinator Magnet: Butterflies and bees are naturally drawn to the spicy scent and vibrant magenta color.
Low Maintenance: Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. As always, remember that deer-resistant is not deer-proof.
Quick Planting Tips: For the best results in your landscape, plant your Dianthus in full sun and well-draining soil. It works beautifully in rock gardens, along stone pathways, or spilling over the edge of a decorative container.
