Dianthus caryophyllus Sunflor® ‘Finesse’


Dwarf Hardy Carnation

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.181.910


The Sunflor® pot carnations can be used both indoors and outdoors, will flower from spring until late autumn, and are completely hardy. Plants form a neat compact mound of grassy foliage smothered with fully double flowers. This selection features masses of double, purple flowers with lilac, frilly edges on short, sturdy stems held above attractive grey-green foliage. 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.
