200 Jeanne Dionis Carnation Seeds - White Double Blooms, Fragrant Hardy Perennial Dianthus

Jeanne Dionis Carnation is a classic Dianthus prized for its elegant, fully double white blooms and sweet, clove-like fragrance. The ruffled flowers rise on sturdy stems above blue-green, grass-like foliage, bringing a refined, cottage-garden look to borders, cutting gardens, and container plantings. As a hardy perennial, this carnation returns year after year, offering dependable color and charm through the growing season.

These fragrant white blooms are excellent for fresh bouquets and floral arrangements, and their long-lasting nature makes them a favorite for cut-flower gardens. The compact, clump-forming habit also works well along pathways and in mixed perennial beds where the scent can be enjoyed up close.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the surface and keeping the medium evenly moist but not soggy. Provide warmth and bright light for germination, and keep seedlings well ventilated to discourage damping off. Once seedlings are large enough to handle and danger of frost has passed, transplant them into a sunny, well-drained garden location.

Water established plants moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and provide good air circulation to help keep foliage healthy. In colder regions, a light winter mulch can help protect plants through the dormant season.
