Carnation ‘Chabaud Jeanne Dionis’
Dianthus caryophyllus
Description
Of all the carnations we’ve grown, ‘Chabaud Jeanne Dionis’ has the fullest flowers, boasting ruffled white petticoats of blooms on strong, gray-green stems. These old-fashioned favorites are best grown as an annual and will bloom all summer long from a single sowing. Their tall stems and extremely long vase life make them an ideal cut flower. Flowers are borne in sprays and smell like cloves.
