Crossings sometimes lead to remarkable results: this carnation very amusingly grows its petals into thin strips: hauntingly fascinating! On sturdy stems (30-40cm), these flowers adorn themselves in white, light and dark pink, and carmine red. The sweet carnation scent fills the garden on a balmy summer evening. It also happily continues to scent in a vase.
