Dianthus barbatus Sweet™ Magenta Bicolor belongs to the internationally acclaimed Sweet™ series, recognized as the best commercial Dianthus barbatus series currently available. This professional cut flower series offers everything modern growers require: perfect uniformity, strong stems, large umbels, and an impressive selection of bright, top-selling flowers. The Magenta Bicolor immediately stands out with its vibrant bicolor flower patterns in deep magenta hues combined with lighter, contrasting accents – a real eye-catcher in bouquets and displays.
Like the other colors in the Sweet™ line, Sweet™ Magenta Bicolor does not require vernalization. This means a cold period is not required for flower initiation, allowing the plant to flower profusely in its first year. This represents a significant strategic advantage for growers:
it allows them to plan year-round production and flexibly respond to market demand, seasonal events, and sales periods.
Whether producing in winter, spring, summer, or fall, the Sweet™ series delivers consistent, reliable, and predictable results every time.
The Magenta Bicolor variety is distinguished by its bright, two-tone flowers, consisting of intense magenta with lighter, almost fluorescent centers. This striking color combination creates a dynamic effect that works well in both classic and modern flower arrangements. The flowers are:
Big and full,
Lightly scented,
Perfectly formed,
Very suitable as a filler and as a subtle eye-catcher.
The contrasts within the flowers add depth to bouquets and create a fresh, energetic look. This color variation is particularly popular with florists for spring, summer, and cheerful seasonal bouquets, but also works beautifully in more luxurious arrangements.
The Sweet™ series is known for its strong stems and uniform plant habit. This makes harvesting efficient and increases the percentage of marketable stems. The Magenta Bicolor produces:
Sturdy, straight stems of uniform length,
Large, rich flower clusters,
Excellent vase and shop shelf life,
A high yield per square meter.
These qualities make this Dianthus ideal for large-scale production, export markets and professional cut flower growers who appreciate that every stem meets the same high standard.
For optimal results, a planting density of 42 to 64 plants per m² (4 to 6 plants per square foot) is recommended. Sweet™ Magenta Bicolor performs well in:
Greenhouses (for full control and year-round cultivation),
Foil tunnels (ideal for spring and autumn cultivation),
Open ground (under favourable climatic conditions).
For even more vigorous growth and earlier flowering, it's recommended to transplant young plants into the greenhouse in the fall. This strategy promotes strong root development during the cooler months, resulting in strong, long stems and high production at the start of the new season.
