Dianthus Jolt Cherry

Dianthus Jolt Cherry is a vibrant and free-flowering perennial that produces masses of brilliant cherry-red blooms held above neat mounds of grey-green foliage. The large, fringed flowers create a dazzling display of colour from spring through autumn, attracting bees and butterflies while adding outstanding impact to garden beds, borders and containers.

Renowned for its heat tolerance and exceptionally long flowering season, the Jolt series has been bred to deliver reliable colour and outstanding garden performance. Its compact, well-branched habit makes it ideal for mass plantings, edging pathways, cottage gardens, rockeries, perennial borders, pots and decorative tubs, where its vivid blooms provide months of continuous colour.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, Dianthus Jolt Cherry is a tough performer in both the garden and containers. The nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, while the long stems also make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

Plant in a full sun position in well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing and during extended dry periods. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous bud production and prolong flowering throughout the warmer months. Heat tolerant and able to withstand light frost once established, Dianthus is an easy-care addition to a wide range of garden styles.
