Good Qualities

Good color (3); Once transplanted, a fast growing plant; Vigorous seedlings; Sturdy stems; Fast.

Problems

Too short (4); Poor plant vigor (2); Not as striking as other dianthus; Plants rotted in field after transplant; Spindly; Brown/too much rain; We prefer longer stems – but probably it will be taller the second year; Variable flowering time and height, segregates red and scarlet; Browned out prior to cutting; Too much variability in color and form of flower, color ran from scarlet to burgundy; Hard to pick at the right moment, just starting to look good and 1st florets start turning brown; In general the Radiant series was not as good in the field as the Sweet series – the flowers were smaller and not as well filled, the plants had a less healthy appearance, it shows no frost tolerance.

Comments

Similar to ‘Sweet Scarlet’; Beautiful color; Get another 12 inches and could be great; Short stemmed and short lived; ‘Amazon Neon Duo’ performed much better in previous year.
