Dianthus barbatus Sweet™ Pink Magic – Enchanting pink hues with exceptional commercial quality

Dianthus barbatus Sweet™ Pink Magic is one of the most striking and refined varieties in the Sweet™ series, recognized worldwide as the finest commercial D. barbatus line available. This series is known for its unparalleled uniformity, year-round cultivation, and reliable production of high-quality cut flowers. Pink Magic is distinguished by its magical-looking pink hues , which range from soft pastels to vibrant, bright pink. The subtle color nuances within a single umbel give this cultivar a unique character and irresistible appeal in modern floral arrangements.

Flowering without vernalization – flexibility for professional cultivation

Like all varieties in the Sweet™ line, Sweet™ Pink Magic doesn't require vernalization to flower. A cold period is therefore not necessary. This allows growers to:

• Produce all year round,

• Perfectly align flowering with market needs,

• Flexible planning of cultivation cycles,

• Respond quickly to seasonal peaks and commercial events.

This characteristic makes the Sweet™ series a favorite among growers seeking reliability and flexibility. Whether you're producing for the winter, spring, summer, or fall markets, Sweet™ Pink Magic blooms predictably, uniformly, and with high yields.

A colour with impact – soft magic in every bouquet

Sweet™ Pink Magic is beloved for its dynamic pink hue, where light and dark shades create an almost glowing effect. This variability within a single flower makes the variety particularly suitable for:

• Luxurious spring and summer bouquets,

• Romantic bridal packages,

• Pastel themes in retail,

• Modern tone-on-tone flower arrangements,

• Export products that stand out because of their colour and shape.

The flower clusters are large, lightly scented, and beautifully filled, creating a rich appearance without being overwhelming. The soft color variation creates a "magical" visual effect – exactly what the name promises.

Uniform growth and strong stems – ideal for cut flower cultivation

The Sweet™ series is designed with professional cultivation in mind. Sweet™ Pink Magic offers:

• Very uniform stems and plant height,

• Strong, straight, sturdy stems,

• High percentage of salable lengths,

• Consistent flower clusters with a professional look,

• Exceptional vase and shop shelf life.

This uniformity makes mechanical or manual harvesting efficient and predictable. The strong stems make this variety particularly suitable for transport, export, and retail display.

Plant density and growing conditions

For optimal production, the same density is maintained as for the rest of the Sweet™ series:

Plant density: 42 to 64 plants per m²
(4 to 6 plants per square foot)

Sweet™ Pink Magic performs excellently in:

• Greenhouses – ideal for year-round controlled production,

• Foil tunnels – strong performance in spring and autumn seasons,

• Open-field cultivation – under mild climatic conditions.

For growers aiming for even higher yields and stronger growth, it is recommended to:

• Plant young plants out in the greenhouse in autumn.

This early planting encourages a strong root system, allowing the plants to produce long, sturdy stems and an abundance of marketable flowers in the spring.
