[The exact Rose Magic page](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=022502007012160&env=P) supports both the color sequence and selection identity. ## Garden and cutting use Plants are listed at 18–36 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, with an upright habit. Use the changing color display in a sunny or partly sunny border, or cut stems for bouquets as the flower clusters develop. Ball Seed lists USDA hardiness zones 6a–8b. ## Growing conditions The breeder describes light water needs and accepts full or partial sun. For Dianthus barbatus, [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/dianthus-barbatus/common-name/sweet-william/) recommends well-drained soil; partial shade can suit hot-summer climates. Avoid poorly drained ground because excess wetness can contribute to crown rot. ## Maintenance Water lightly according to local conditions and allow excess moisture to drain. Remove faded flowering stems for a neat display, or cut them for indoor arrangements while the blooms are fresh.
