Grow a garden filled with the lovely Grenadin White Carnation, from freshly harvested Dianthus caryophyllus flower seeds. Clove Carnations are not your typical Carnation flower. They are a form of Dianthus / Pinks, which form double petaled blooms in a creamy white coloring. The plants grow to a mature height of roughly 12 to 24 inches tall, displaying 1.5 to 2 inch, white flowers. Clove Carnations are categorized as tender perennial / annual flowering plants. They grow quickly the first year, establishing a deep root system, later wilting with the harsh frosts of winter. If the temperatures aren't too severe, the plants can return the following year. They can also be regrown from seeds that fall to the ground beneath. These seeds can be collected from dried flower heads, or overwintered to regrow with the warm temperatures of Spring as well. Clove Carnations are known to attract an array of beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees & hummingbirds as well. Their large, double bloomed flowers make a great cut flower. Add them to floral arrangements and fresh bouquets, or allow the flowers to dry for dried bouquets as well. Grenadin White can be added with any number of additional Clove Carnations that we have available.
