Dianthus barbatus Green ball... Awesome moss like looking flower


This amazing new cut flower. Finally, a true green Dianthusis easily available at the flower market. It is a Dianthus barbatus  cultivar, or Sweet William, But a Sweet William that looks more like a ball of moss. Right out of Dr Seuss...



Green Trick Dianthus is the hottest must-have flower introduced February 2011 at a trade show in France and sold only for commercial growers as a cut flower crop. cool green pom pommy things are as sexy as, well, green pom pommy things.

Bred by Hilverda kooij in Holland, and winner of countless awards this year is a stylish Dianthus barbatus called Green Trick ‘Temarisou’, unfortunately, this is only available in the cut flower markets since it is a registered brand of the Hilverda Group and licensed out only to commercial cut flower growers. As far as cut flower trends go, this amazing new variety is a terrific example of how plant breeders are focusing on new lifestyle flowers designs and product that meet the needs of today's new consumer. Short, clean lined containers with dense mounds of spiky green is exactly what we stylists and what hip clients are looking for. Its so versatile, textural and long lasting another Chris Lindsay Design Favorite.
