Dianthus 'Radiant White with Ring'

Good Qualities

Fast growing plants (2); Easy to grow; Vigorous seedlings; Sharp contrast of colors is quite striking; Interesting color, good uniformity; Nice-sized heads – good branching; strong stems.

Problems

Too short (5); Thin stems (3); The coloring of this variety was also a problem – the reddish ring was poorly defined, and looked like a spent bloom from opening, it scared my customers; Blooms became brown after too much rain; Not a particularly strong grower this season; Browned out prior to cutting; Didn’t like it at all! – color looked dirty, muddy, old when stem was young, total waste of space; Same as other ‘Radiant’, never looked ‘fresh’, dirty colors as if they were old; Florists preferred colors – was okay for farm markets and mixed bouquets; 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.

Postharvest

See separate postharvest report in this issue for results from NC State University postharvest evaluations.

Comments

Seeded in flats 1/25/05, harvest interval 6/22-7/4; Although this was not a great grower, I would try it again because of the color; Short stemmed and short lived; Get another 12 inches and could be great.
