Dianthus caryophyllus | Clove Pink Floral color palette Happy in sun or semi-shadeThis carnation has a beautiful mix of pale and mid pinks of silky petals. Sweetly scented of cloves and is a wonderfully old fashioned plant. Flowers are a mix of single and double blooms. Best grown as an annual in colder climates but do well as perennials in warmer parts on NZ. Easy to take cuttings from though, just put them into water and plant up into soil when roots appear. These beauties bloom all summer long and into the early autumn months.
