Dianthus caryophyllus 'Grenadin Double Mix'
Traditional fragrant carnation with colourful fully double flowers on strong stems

Dianthus caryophyllus 'Grenadin Double Mix' is a traditional garden carnation producing beautifully fragrant, fully double flowers on strong upright stems. The colourful mixture includes rich shades of red, pink, rose, yellow and white, creating a classic cottage-garden display with the unmistakable spicy, clove-like fragrance associated with old-fashioned carnations.

Grenadin is particularly valued as a cut flower, combining sturdy stems, attractive double blooms and excellent fragrance. Plants form compact clumps of distinctive blue-green foliage and flower abundantly through summer. Grown primarily as a biennial, it is an excellent choice for sunny borders, cutting gardens and traditional flower beds.

Expert Growing Tips

● For the traditional biennial growing method, sow in early to midsummer and establish young plants before autumn; they will overwinter and provide their main flower display the following summer.

● Cover seeds only lightly with fine compost. Grenadin seed germinates readily at around 18–20°C when kept consistently moist but not saturated.

● Choose a sunny position with excellent drainage, particularly over winter, as carnations perform poorly in persistently wet ground.

● Pinch young plants once established to encourage branching and produce more flowering stems for cutting.

● Cut flowers regularly and remove faded blooms to keep plants tidy and encourage continued flowering through summer.
