When I first saw this delightful new breeding in Pot Carnations I just knew I had to recommend them to my readers. They are absolutely invaluable in our gardens. Below I list 10 of the reasons why.
- Deliciously scented blooms just like carnations of times gone by.
- Larger double blooms than other Pot Carnations
- Slow growing and compact, so suitable for containers as well as borders.
- Blooms until the first frosts from spring until late autumn.
- Fully hardy in U.K. Gardens
- Well branched so more blooms.
- Heat and drought tolerant. Perfect for a sunny spot.
- Evergreen leaves.
- Also suitable as a temporary houseplant.
- Easy to grow.
The gorgeous varieties pictured at the top of the article are:-
