Description:

This winter-hardy carnation is a great plant for landscape and container growers. Its abundant, fragrant flowers are a delight for all growers. Hanging basket growers should cut back plants frequently during winter months so that plants are short and stocky for a burst of color in the spring.

General Growing Tips:

Grow 4 plants per 10" basket. Carnations should be grown in well-drained soil. A cold frame or cool greenhouse will produce good results for this plant. Use low feed until spring. Watch for aphids. Start in fall for cool house-grown plants for spring. Heated house-grown plants should finish in 10 weeks at 55 degree night temperature.
