Carnation 'Chabaud Beninga'

A treasured French garden heirloom, Chabaud carnations offer a sweet, spicy clove fragrance and frilly 1½–2" double blooms, with the occasional single flower. Petals range from white to creamy white, delicately edged in rose. Dating back to 1904, this vintage variety is best grown as an annual for cut-flower production.

Also known as Annual Carnation, Clove Pink, or Border Carnation.

HOW TO GROW:

Transplant (recommended): Sow 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant into cell packs 20–25 days after sowing. Harden off and transplant outdoors after the last frost. Cool temperatures (10–13°C) promote low, bushy growth. Avoid warm nighttime temperatures above 18°C, which encourage soft, leggy growth.
Direct seeding is not recommended.
