Dianthus ‘Pink Fire’ is a striking carnation cultivar known for its vivid, fiery pink blooms and robust growth habit. The flowers are fully double, large, and emerge atop a base of attractive steely-blue foliage, making the plant a visual standout in any garden. Unlike some dianthus varieties, the blooms of ‘Pink Fire’ are supported by strong stems, ensuring they remain upright without flopping.


This cultivar is a sport of the popular Dianthus ‘Firewitch’, but it brings even more impressive qualities to the garden, such as an enhanced clove-like fragrance. The strong scent makes it appealing to gardeners who enjoy aromatic plants, and it thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil. Pink Fire is also highly valued for its extended bloom period and resilience in various growing conditions, including cooler climates.


Whether planted in borders, rock gardens, or containers, ‘Pink Fire’ is a versatile and eye-catching choice that offers both visual appeal and an enticing fragrance. Its ability to attract pollinators, combined with its vibrant color and strong growth, makes it a favorite among gardeners looking for a reliable and beautiful perennial.
