Venti Parfait™ Crimson Eye Dianthus

Venti Parfait™ Crimson Eye is an F1 Dianthus chinensis selection in Syngenta's compact, mounding Venti Parfait series. The exact product listing shows pink petals around a crimson eye and describes a full-sun, mid-spring flowering plant. ## Garden Use Place this annual in full sun in a front-of-border position, a large pack, or a patio container. Syngenta's culture guide gives an 8–10-inch garden height and width, mounded habit, and use in containers, hanging baskets, and landscapes. ## Flowers and Season Fringed flowers carry a clear contrast between the pale petals and dark central eye. The breeder lists the cultivar as a Venti Parfait color selection and describes the series as well-branched, vigorous, and suited to extended garden color. ## Maintenance Use a free-draining medium and let it dry between irrigations, as directed in Syngenta's culture guide. The guide also lists the cultivar as seed-grown and notes that pinching is not needed.
