Developing my knowledge all the time. I love growing plants: barely any space on my windowsills, nor on my patio as it's full of pots. #renting.

@bluefox23 never thought about growing them from seed. Have some frilly ones but these proper carnations are just classics 😍

I can see why these are called giant #giantchabaud as the buds are huge! #dianthus #carnation 10/09/19 #dianthus-giantchabaudmix
