Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Firewitch'
Choose Firewitch Dianthus for a low, fragrant edging plant in hot, dry spots; the tradeoff is it needs sharp drainage and will not carry a shady or wet bed.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The bright flowers and blue-gray foliage read clearly at the front of a bed. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace without turning into a takeover plant. |
| Maintenance | B | Keep it drained and trim spent flowers if you want the neatest rebloom. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact habit makes it easy to place along walks, stones, and small borders. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a ground-level edging perennial, not a plant for privacy or structure. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Firewitch where drainage is the deciding factor: raised edges, stone borders, and hot front beds are better fits than rich, wet garden soil.
| Mature Height | 0.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 1 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 3a-9a |
| Spacing | 1 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun |
| Moisture | Dry to average |
| Growth Habit | Low, mat-forming, mounding |
It blooms heaviest in spring, then can rebloom lightly if kept tidy.
Yes, the flowers have a noticeable clove-like fragrance up close.
It is a good pick for deer-prone areas, but no perennial is completely untouched.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
