Dianthus caryophyllus, or Carnation, is one of the most popular flowers ever grown. They are perfect for the cutting garden as they grow to a height of 24 inches and have strong stems. This Chabaud mix has colors of violet, purple, red, pink, orange, and yellow, and they all have the terrific spicy-sweet fragrance that is so well-known to Carnations. The foliage is grayish-green, and this plant enjoys a position in full sun. Start the seed indoors in the spring 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Or, directly sow the seed outdoors in prepared seedbeds after danger of frosts have passed. Cover the seeds thinly with soil and keep it moist. With temperatures between 65 - 70F, germination is normally within 14 days.
