The Dianthus barbatus Sweet™ Black Cherry is part of the renowned Sweet™ series, known as the best commercial D. barbatus series currently available. This series is designed for professional cultivation, high uniformity, and maximum production efficiency. The Black Cherry is distinguished by its deep cherry-red color and generous flower clusters that immediately catch the eye – both in the greenhouse, in the shop, and ultimately in a bouquet.
One of the biggest advantages of the Sweet™ series is that vernalization is not required. This means plants can flower in the first year without exposure to cold periods. This allows for year-round production, making this series ideal for professional growers who strive for continuity and flexibility.
Whether you're producing for local markets, wholesale, or export, Sweet™ Black Cherry allows you to create stable, reliable, and perfectly predictable growing cycles. Simply strategically schedule your planting dates, and the plants will respond consistently with strong growth and uniform flowering.
The Sweet™ series is known for its exceptionally uniform plant and stem height, which simplifies cultivation and makes harvesting more efficient. The plants form strong, straight stems ideal for cut flower production. Thanks to this robustness and excellent flowering habit, they deliver a high yield of marketable stems per square meter.
The flowers are large, fragrant, and retain their shape and quality remarkably long after harvest. With an excellent shelf life, this variety offers added value for florists and retailers who strive for long-lasting products.
The Sweet™ series includes no fewer than 13 distinct, ultra-bright colors, allowing growers to produce an attractive, versatile color range. Black Cherry falls within the deepest, most luxurious shades, making it particularly popular for romantic bouquets, luxury floral arrangements, and premium markets.
The rich, almost velvety color creates a powerful visual impact that immediately appeals in bouquets and arrangements. This cultivar is therefore an excellent choice for sales occasions such as Valentine's Day, weddings, and premium weekly bouquets.
For optimal production, a planting density of 42 to 64 plants per m² (4 to 6 plants per square foot) is recommended. This density encourages both vertical growth and uniform stem formation.
The Sweet™ Black Cherry performs best in:
Greenhouse conditions
Foil tunnels
Cultivation in open ground (under suitable climatic conditions)
Higher plant growth can be achieved by using early-planted, fall-grown greenhouse plants. This strategy encourages strong root development and results in sturdy stems and a higher total yield.
