Description
A very beautiful and old heirloom dianthus from France, which has the sweet and spicy fragrance of clove. It has frilly, white to creamy white petals with a rose coloured edging. The 5cm double blooms have a small percentage of singles borne above grass-like, gray or blue-green foliage. It blooms late January and February and is best grown as an annual for cut-flower production.
Sowing advice
Sow in spring, early summer, late summer and autumn.
Sow onto the surface of moist seed raising mix in pots or trays. Cover very lightly with seed mix, as light aids germination. Keep moist but not wet and at approx 15-20 deg C. Germination takes 2-3 weeks
