Carnation Choice Double Mix Seed

A vibrant mix of double flowering carnations with rich colours and a sweet clove scented fragrance ideal for borders and cutting.  

 

Carnation Choice Double Mix is a vibrant selection of fully double, richly coloured blooms that bring classic charm and long lasting beauty to any garden. This traditional favourite produces large ruffled flowers in shades of pink, red, white, salmon, and bi colours, each with a sweet clove like fragrance that has made carnations beloved for generations.

 

Choice Double Mix is valued for its strong stems, excellent vase life, and reliable performance in borders, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and containers. The plants form neat, upright clumps of blue green foliage and flower over a long season, providing a steady supply of blooms for both garden display and indoor arrangements.

 

This variety thrives in sunny positions with fertile, well drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, while its sturdy growth habit makes it easy to maintain. Carnation Choice Double Mix is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking colour, fragrance, and traditional floral elegance.

 

Carnation Choice Double Mix offers timeless beauty, strong garden performance, and a generous display of fragrant double blooms.
