Dianthus plumarius forms low evergreen mats with narrow foliage and fragrant flowers whose petal margins are fringed.
Botanical characteristics
Its persistent cushion differs from taller florist carnations. Sun and well-drained soil suit it; wet soil encourages crown and fungal rots. Removing spent flowers can extend the display.
Single and semi-double mixtures
Single Flowered Mixture, Sonata and Spring Beauty Semi-double Mixed retain separate form and mixture labels for seed assortments.
