Dianthus barbatus 'Black Cherry'
- Product number: 584260
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Dianthus nigrescens
His name means “As black as soot”. I honestly find his deep reddish-chestnut flower color more beautiful than black! You rarely see such a color. The stems are red and the leaves are green, changing to mahogany with a metallic sheen. The flower is fragrant, good for cutting and... edible! Height 30-40 cm.
