Carnation Chabaud La France

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Carnation ‘Chabaud La France’
Dianthus caryophyllus

Echoing the seashell pink color of Café au Lait dahlias, this delicate, classic beauty has flowers in varying hues of creamy blush and baby pink. One of the most fragrant flowers we grow, this old fashioned carnation is best grown as an annual. These beauties bloom all summer long from an early sowing. The tall stems and extremely long vase life make them an ideal cut flower. Flowers are borne in sprays and smell like cloves.
