Description




Our premium carnation seeds offer stable high germination rate and bushy compact growth performance. Botanically named Dianthus caryophyllus, carnation is a classic perennial flower well-known for its densely ruffled double petals, elegant layered flower shape and distinctive pleasant fragrance. Available in multiple rich colors, it brings romantic and luxurious decorative effects to all kinds of garden layouts.
It features good cold resistance and can tolerate light frost, blooming continuously from late spring to early autumn. Widely applied in perennial flower borders, pathway edging, balcony container potted planting, wedding decoration and commercial fresh cut flower production. The firm upright stems guarantee long vase life, making carnation one of the most popular bouquet materials worldwide. Carnation grows best in loose, well-drained slightly alkaline soil with sufficient sunlight. Regular deadheading and moderate watering are the only daily work needed, which makes it highly suitable for novice gardeners and large-scale municipal landscape projects.
