CULTURE REPORT
Dianthus
Constant Beauty
Crush Series
Save time and labor with this completely programmable series of dianthus.
BY JIM DEVEREUX
T
raditionally, dianthus breeding
programs' mother plants share
lineage from temperate climates.
All dianthus may look absolutely fantastic in
the spring as cool nights and days promote
intense flowering. We all see our garden
centers become loaded with dianthus cultivars
beginning in February and then make their
disappearance as the summer heat turns on.
The Green Fuse Botanicals Constant
Beauty breeding program of recognized this
traditional need of dianthus for cool weather
as an opportunity to bring forth an entirely
new line, and an entirely new philosophy for
dianthus. With a breeding line originating
in the tropics, no heat, no humidity is too
high for the Constant Beauty series. From
Miami to Los Angeles, this consistent series
will never go out of color. This pioneering
attribute allows season-long dianthus sales
and season long color for the end consumer!
A PROGRAMMABLE SERIES
The Constant Beauty Crush series boasts
five crisp bicolors for year-round production.

Burgundy, Cherry, Orange, Pink and Rose
are all completely uniform in habit and finish
times. While consumers easily gravitate to
their vivid colors in retail, they will adore
their tried-and-true landscape performance
for years to come. Crush, like all Green Fuse
Botanicals First Light genetics, requires
zero vernalization and zero set number of
daylength hours to initiate blooms; they are
totally neutral.
Nearly all dianthus breeding programs
offer multiple varieties per color. So, you
may have four reds within the same series.
This is required because all four of the reds
have different day length requirements.
What you may use for February will be
different than May. This is not true for the
Green Fuse Botanicals breeding program,
we only need one red because it will have
the same culture in winter production as it
would in summer.
This unique ability will save time and
labor as they are completely programmable
based on desired ship week. Not only do
