Jolt™ Pink Magic Interspecific Dianthus

Jolt™ Pink Magic is PanAmerican Seed’s interspecific Dianthus selection PAS1141435, with flowers that open white, deepen through light pink, and mature to dark pink. The breeder lists spring-to-autumn flowering, full sun, a 16–20-inch height, a 12–14-inch spread, and semi-hardy annual performance in USDA zones 7a–11; Greenleaf also confirms the selection’s multiple pink shades and spring-to-fall bloom ([PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/022507262008168/interspecific-dianthus-jolt-pink-magic/), [Greenleaf Nursery](https://www.greenleafnursery.com/plant/Dianthus-Dianthus-barbatus-interspecific-PAS1141435)). ## Garden use Place this upright selection in sunny borders, massed beds, or containers where its changing flower tones can be noticed. PanAmerican reports that the white-to-pink color pattern is strongest with high light and cool nights. The Jolt series is promoted for summer heat and continued flowering, making Pink Magic useful when a long warm-season display is wanted. ## Growing conditions Give it full sun and soil with reliable drainage. The [RHS Dianthus barbatus profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/105495/dianthus-barbatus/details) recommends well-drained soil and lists loam and sand; use those as general Dianthus guidance for this interspecific cultivar. PanAmerican lists USDA zones 7a–11 and flowering from spring through autumn. ## Maintenance Remove spent stems for a tidy finish and check foliage periodically for stress or disease. PanAmerican describes Jolt as durable in hot conditions and reports few disease issues, but good drainage remains important. In colder climates, plan for seasonal replacement because the breeder describes this selection as a semi-hardy annual.
