FREE: "Clove Drop" Carnations - Dianthus Caryophyllus

The listing, "Clove Drop" Carnations - Dianthus Caryophyllus has ended.

This delectable new Carnation is a treat for the senses, cascading up to 2 1/2 feet from baskets, window boxes, and other containers!

Very long-lived, these blooms arise all over the trailing plant, offering great color contrast with the small, dusty silver-green foliage.

Frost-tolerant and carefree, this half-hardy perennial (grown as an annual) will bloom long into winter in warm climates. Great for fall holiday aroma without the calories!

Start seeds indoors in late winter and transplant after last frost, or sow seeds directly when the ground warms. Blooms in 5 months or less from sowing! To overwinter, cut them back after bloom and mulch heavily.
