Description

Travelling in the Alpine regions of Europe one is struck by the magnificent and visual impact of their window boxes, hanging baskets, pots, tubs etc. And then we realised that they make liberal use of pendulous carnations adding an extra slant in perspective and design. The colour range is mainly pink and red shades.

Sowing Instructions

Sow spring to autumn in good free draining seed compost, just covering the seed with compost. Germination usually takes 14-21 days at 16-21C (60-70F).

Aftercare

Overwinter autumn sown plants in a well ventilated cold frame and plant out in spring.
