200 Kahori Pink Carnation Seeds - Fragrant Hardy Perennial Dianthus

Kahori Pink Carnation is a charming Dianthus variety prized for its soft pink, lightly ruffled blooms and sweet, spicy clove-like fragrance. The flowers rise above tidy mounds of narrow, blue-green foliage, creating a classic cottage garden look that works beautifully in borders, rock gardens, containers, and cutting gardens. As a hardy perennial, Kahori returns year after year, offering repeat color and fragrance through the growing season.

These carnation seeds make an rewarding project for gardeners who enjoy growing flowers from seed. The compact, clump-forming habit suits both garden beds and patio pots, and the fragrant blooms are lovely for fresh bouquets or simply enjoying up close along a walkway or patio edge.

Planting & Care

Sow Kahori Pink Carnation 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, then grow seedlings on in a sunny spot. Once seedlings are sturdy and danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting into well-drained garden soil or containers.

Water established plants at the base when the top of the soil feels dry, and avoid overhead watering to help keep foliage healthy. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and trim back lightly after the season. In colder regions, a layer of mulch around the crown helps protect plants through winter.
