100 Seeds Carnation Perennial Flower Dianthus Double Mix Multicolor Blooms Hardy Fragrant Cut Flower Garden Patio Ornamental
Dianthus 'Double Mix' carnation seeds produce cheerful, fully double blooms in a rainbow of hues, from soft pinks and warm reds to crisp whites and lavender. Each ruffled flower carries a classic clove-like fragrance that fills garden borders and patio containers with old-fashioned charm. Hardy and low-maintenance, these perennial plants form tidy mounds of slender green foliage and bloom profusely with minimal attention.
Plant these ornamental seeds in well-drained garden soil in full sun for the best flower display. They thrive in cottage gardens, rockeries, and mixed containers, and are excellent for fresh-cut bouquets. Regular deadheading encourages repeated flowering through the season. Plants may act as short-lived perennials and will often self-seed lightly in ideal conditions.
