Cherry Magic Dianthus
2003
All-America Selections Winner
& Fleuroselect Quality Mark Winner
Corona
Cherry Magic has the largest flowers on
the market – 2.5-3" across. The eye-catching
blooms show a capricious bi-color pattern
– the flower can be entirely cherry red,
entirely lavender or a “tie-dyed” bi-color
lavender and cherry mosaic.
These
compact, extra-early blooming plants are
ideal for the garden or pots. Plants in
full bloom make nice indoor color accents
for up to two weeks before you plant them
outside. Once outside you will delight in
this annual as it
provides color throughout the growing season.
Corona
Cherry Magic grows 7-9" tall, and spread
from 8-10" across making these sun-lovers
great for mass planting in flower beds.

Selections.
While much of the information
in these tips is applicable in several gardening
zones/climates, some of the plants and timing
suggested are best suited to the Northwest,
generally in the mild/wet growing regions
found along the I-5 corridor. You should
make appropriate adjustments or consult
local gardening experts in regions whose
climates differ from this area of the Northwest.
