Carnation ‘Hardy Border Mix’
Approx. 50 seeds
A delightful mixture of hardy carnations producing beautifully scented flowers in a wide range of colours, including shades of pink, red, white and bicolours. Held above neat clumps of blue-green foliage, the blooms bring classic cottage-garden charm to borders, cutting gardens and containers, while their rich fragrance makes them a favourite for paths and seating areas.
This long-lived perennial flowers generously through summer and is excellent for cutting, filling the garden and home with its distinctive spicy clove scent. The nectar-rich blooms are also attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Easy to grow in a sunny position with well-drained soil, ‘Hardy Border Mix’ forms tidy plants that return year after year, providing reliable colour and fragrance with minimal maintenance.
