Dianthus Sweet Black Cherry is a striking variety with full flower clusters and a rich, dramatic appearance in the garden or bouquet. This variety is a strong choice for growers who want a dianthus with more depth and contrast than standard selections.

Sweet Black Cherry Selling Tips

Sweet Black Cherry stands out as a strong choice for customers who want a rich, eye-catching color in their garden or floral designs. Its deep tones create contrast when combined with softer pastels or bright spring blooms, making it easy to build visually appealing arrangements. This variety is especially appealing for customers interested in cut flowers, seasonal displays, or adding a dramatic focal point to mixed plantings.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

Give your crop an environment that provides good air movement with full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. Keep the crop evenly moist, but avoid saturated media. Maintain a soil pH around 5.8–6.5 and feed with a balanced fertilizer around 100–150 ppm nitrogen.

Flowering

Sweet Black Cherry produces deep burgundy blooms.

Pinching

Pinching is not recommended for this series.

Spacing

Plant at a density of 4–6 plants per square foot for commercial cut flowers. Landscape installations typically require 10–14 inches between plants.

Pests

Scout regularly for aphids, especially on tender new growth and around developing buds. Growers should also watch for thrips, spider mites, and fungus gnats.

Disease

Be proactive in scouting for rust, Botrytis, Fusarium, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and powdery mildew. Maintain good airflow, allow plants to dry before nightfall, and consider preventative rust control for outdoor plantings.

Planting Sweet Black Cherry Liners

For container finishing, plant one plug per 4-inch pot or three to five plugs per 10-inch container.

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
