Firewitch dianthus is blooming and scenting the garden
April 02, 2014
Imagine a strong, clove-like fragrance.
That’s what I’m enjoying every time I step onto the deck thanks to my magenta ‘Firewitch’ dianthus. I’ve paired it with spineless prickly pear and a squid agave pup for fun color and form. Excuse me while I go take another sniff.

Clove-like? Now if that really is the case it will remind me of the dentist when I was a child. That smell was always on the air. I need to go out and smell my dianthus to see if it has the same smell.
Yes, smell it! Don’t know if I’d want that smell on my teeth though. —Pam
One of my favorite garden fragrances! I can almost smell it through the computer. Our dianthus won’t be blooming for a while yet. Your combo is fun!
Smell-o-rama — we need it! —Pam
I do sniffing with my hyacinths at the moment:)
Mmmm! —Pam
