Dianthus Chabaud Benigna is a prized heirloom variety cherished for its intensely fragrant, vintage carnations that evoke the sweet and spicy scent of clove. These flowers feature frilly, double blooms measuring 1½ to 2 inches across, predominantly white to creamy white with delicate rose-colored edges, complemented by occasional single blooms. Its fine, grass-like foliage displays a distinctive gray to blue-green hue, adding textured contrast to garden beds. Blooming from late July through August, this variety is ideal for annual cultivation focused on cut-flower production. Originating from as early as 1904, Chabaud Benigna requires about 140 days to flower, with a germination rate near 60%. Offered as Non-GMO seeds, they support sustainable gardening practices. Packaged in eco-friendly, reusable, and recyclable materials, these seeds align with environmentally conscious cultivation.
