Dianthus ‘I Love U’ - garofita compacta, cu flori parfumate

Dianthus ‘I Love U’ is a collectible carnation that impresses with a unique color display: on the same plant, flowers bloom simultaneously in different shades. The buds open in a deep intense pink, which gradually fades to a pearly pink and, finally, to a pure creamy white. This blend of colors on a single bush gives it the appearance of a "living bouquet."

Why choose ‘I Love U’?

• Triple Visual Effect: The double flowers change color as they mature, offering a beautiful gradient from pink to white.

• Generous Blooming: It is a very productive variety, forming a dense, rounded bush full of flowers throughout the season.

• Delicate Fragrance: It emits a fine, sweet scent typical of noble carnations, perfect for relaxing moments on the balcony.

• Elegant Foliage: Its green-blue (glaucous) leaves are narrow and stiff, remaining decorative even when the plant is not in bloom.

Care and Usage Tips

1. Placement: Ideal for decorative pots, window boxes, or garden borders. Needs direct sunlight to stimulate the color change of the petals.

2. Watering: Water moderately. Carnations dislike "wet feet"; ensure the pot has very good drainage. Let the soil dry slightly on the surface between waterings.

3. Cleaning: Remove flowers that have reached the dry white stage to make room for new dark pink buds to emerge.

4. Fertilizing: A monthly application of fertilizer for flowering plants will maintain the bush’s vigor and color intensity.

Design Tip: Due to its name and romantic appearance, ‘I Love U’ is the ideal gift for special occasions. It looks spectacular in a white ceramic pot or a wicker basket, instantly offering a "shabby chic" look.
