100 Seeds Double Mix Carnation Dianthus Perennial Garden Flower Fragrant Double Blooms

Carnation 'Double Mix' (Dianthus caryophyllus) produces a stunning array of fully double, ruffled blooms in shades of pink, red, white, and bicolor. These classic perennial flowers are beloved for their spicy clove-like fragrance and long-lasting vase life, making them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements and garden borders.

Ideal for sunny beds and well-drained soil, these carnations bloom heavily from late spring through summer with regular deadheading. The compact, bushy plants reach 12-18 inches tall and work well in containers or mass plantings. Provide consistent moisture but avoid wet feet. In warmer climates, offer light afternoon shade for best performance.
