Dwarf Hardy Carnation

The FLOW® series of pot carnations was bred to produce large flowers on a compact habit with uniform flowering. These blooms from spring until late summer and are completely hardy.

Added bonus of a wonderful spicy-clove fragrance. Excellent for containers, rock gardens and borders. Drought tolerant and easy to grow. Prefers well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Good drainage is essential for winter hardiness. Evergreen. Bred in The Netherlands.
