2006 Perennial Plant of the Year:

The Perennial Plant Association has named Dianthus gratianopolitanus ‘ Feuerhexe’ (also known at Firewitch) 2006 Perennial Plant of the Year. Cheddar pink is the common name of this excellent sun exposure perennial.

The enticing clove-like scent of this low-growing ornamental makes it the perfect choice for use in a border near the walkway. The blooms offer lingering fragrance. The landscape possibilities for this cheddar pink are vast. Pert, bright blooms make Firewitch a perfect choice for the rock garden or for planting in wall crevices. The perennial quality creates a good ground cover on a sunny slope.

Plant combinations that work with this Dianthus include Siberian iris (Iris sibirica) in the spring, later on with threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’ or Zagreb’) and in the fall match Firewitch with plumbago (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides).

Color Choice Shrubs

Adding color to your garden has never been easier. This unique line of
colorful easy growing flowering shrubs from Proven Winners will complement

textures.
