Carnation Seeds - Chabaud Mix Variety (100 Seeds)

Carnation (Dianthus Caryophyllus Chabaud Mix) – Carnation Seeds for the Cutting Garden

Carnation seeds are perfect for growing in the cutting garden, as there is no better known flower for cutting than a Carnation! This Dianthus Chabaud Mix features tall, double, fringed flowers with a lovely spicy scent. The foliage is clump-forming and blue-green in color, and the Carnation flowers come in a range of colors, including white, pink, red, yellow, and multi-hued.

Dianthus Caryophyllus Chabaud Carnations can be grown as a perennial in frost-free zones, or as an annual where winters are cold. They can be grown in borders, planters, and rock gardens. To get Carnation flowers the first year, start Dianthus seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost, planting 2-3 seeds per pot or cell. Cover the seeds with no more than 1/16 inch of soil and keep them moist until germination. Move the seedlings to a cool, bright place to continue growing, then harden the Carnation plants off in the garden a week or two before the last frost.

In mild winter areas, Carnation seeds can be planted outdoors spring through early fall. Removing spent flowers encourages continued blooming.
