Approximate Seed Count: 75Carnations are sometimes dyed in order to fit any arrangement, but this stunningly deep purple variety is all natural! This old fashioned cultivar of Dianthus, orniginating from the Mediteranian, has a strong clovelike fragrance that will outshine many stems in your collection.
