100 Seeds Black Cherry Carnation Dianthus Flowers Perennial

These black cherry carnation seeds produce stunning double blooms in deep burgundy, almost black shades, adding dramatic elegance to any garden. Known for their spicy, clove-like fragrance and sturdy stems, they are a favorite for both flower beds and cut flower arrangements.

Sow the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the soil warms. Carnations prefer well-drained soil and full sun, and they make excellent border plants or container specimens. With regular deadheading, these perennials will reward you with continuous blooms from late spring through summer.
