A delicate, classic variety with beautiful blush pink tones. This old fashioned cultivar of carnation that dates back to 1904 originating in the Mediteranian. The double bloom of this Dianthis has frilly petals that have a strong, clovelike fragrance that will outshine many stems in your collection. Not only are these blooms going to become a quick staple in your cottage garden or cut flower farm, the petals are also edible. You can use them to garnish salads or bake into cookies!

Long Time to Grow but Beautiful

Beautiful little blooms! They did take a while to show for me, however I'm in zone 5b so my growing season is shorter compared to most

Lovely pink flowers.

Whats not to love about perennial flowers? These were easy to germinate and grow. My wife loves pink flowers so it was a no brainer.

I love them!!

I winter sowed these seeds 2/22/24 in a soda jug and they are just now blooming, I brought them in the house to bloom, I was afraid of frost killing it before it even bloomed and they are beautiful and smell beautiful too

Tried direct sowing 10seeds along with orange sherbet variety but none germinate. I’m going to try planting the rest of them for my spring garden next year.
