Carnation 250 Seeds Grenadin Double Mix | Dianthus caryophyllus Fragrant Double Flowers
£1.35
Unit price perCarnation 250 Seeds Grenadin Double Mix | Dianthus caryophyllus Fragrant Double Flowers
£1.35
Unit price perDianthus 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.
● Beautiful fully double flowers in a colourful mixed selection
● Strong, sweet and spicy clove-like fragrance
● Excellent long-stemmed flowers for cutting and arrangements
● Classic old-fashioned carnation with attractive blue-green foliage
● Abundant summer flowering from established plants
● Cut flower gardens
● Scented gardens
● Cottage gardens
● Sunny borders and flower beds
● Bouquets and floral arrangements
● 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.
Physostegia virginiana, commonly known as Obedient Plant or False Dragonhead, is a striking hardy perennial producing tall, upright spikes of elegant pink to pale lilac, snapdragon-like flowers. Blooming through summer into early autumn, the flowers open progressively from the bottom of each spike, creating a long-lasting display above attractive narrow green foliage.
Its unusual common name comes from a fascinating characteristic of the flowers: individual blooms can be gently moved sideways and will temporarily remain in their new position. Growing approximately 90–120 cm tall, this vigorous perennial is excellent for the middle or back of borders, cottage gardens and naturalistic planting. The long flowering stems are also excellent for cutting, while the flowers are attractive to visiting pollinators.
● Tall spikes packed with elegant pink to pale lilac flowers
● Unusual movable flowers give the Obedient Plant its memorable name
● Long flowering period from summer into early autumn
● Excellent tall perennial for cutting and flower arrangements
● Vigorous hardy perennial that returns year after year
● Cottage gardens
● Perennial borders
● Cut flower gardens
● Naturalistic and prairie-style planting
● Pollinator-friendly gardens
● For more uniform germination, give seeds approximately 3–4 weeks of cold-moist stratification before spring sowing. Alternatively, sow in autumn and allow natural winter conditions to provide the cold period.
● Be patient with germination. Physostegia seed can emerge irregularly over several weeks rather than germinating all at once.
● Grow in full sun for the strongest, most upright flowering stems; plants grown in too much shade or overly rich soil may become more prone to flopping.
● Keep established plants consistently moist during dry periods, as Obedient Plant performs particularly well in soils that retain some moisture.
● Allow enough room for mature plants to spread. The species grows by underground rhizomes and can gradually form substantial colonies, so divide or restrict clumps if they begin spreading beyond their allocated space.
