The long-lasting blooms are excellent for fresh bouquets and dried arrangements, while the compact, clump-forming habit makes them a lovely choice for edging paths or growing in containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow from seed, Grenadin Red Carnation brings reliable color and fragrance to the garden year after year when given well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright red, fully double blooms with fringed petals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet, clove-like fragrance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy perennial that returns each season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, clump-forming growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for cut flowers and dried arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dianthus caryophyllus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Grenadin Red Carnation seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature around 65-70°F and keep the medium evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect the crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Grenadin Red Carnation seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824694001974,"sku":"FOLIA2-1002","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7367911448_jwrg.jpg?v=1793004150","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-grenadin-red-carnation-seeds-fragrant-double-blooms-hardy-perennial-dianthus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
