Dianthus Caryophyllus fl. Pl. - Grenadin Series Grenadin Scarlet. Who doesn’t love carnations? This is an upright mound forming evergreen plant with greyish- green leaves on erect stems holding full double flowers in rich vibrant scarlet red. Blooming in early spring to early fall, these flowers are very easy to grow. Not only are they gorgeous, but they give off a hint of clove-like spicy aroma. They would be a sure attention getter in the garden and fresh cut in a vase. This plant is happiest in cooler climate summers and stays hardy through winter with well drained soil, and will maintain its vigor if divided every other spring. Very popular with florists for its beauty, fragrance and long vase life.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
