We are in Federal Way WA and on glacial soil amended with mulch for 8 plus years. I am always happy to see them. I have been collecting them. So many kinds.

Are carnations able to stand the heat if I grow them in a poly tunnel which gets full sun most of the day.

I’d like to grow some undercover and haven’t spare room to put tunnels outdoors. Thank you.

I have been growing them for the past 3 years and can’t imagine my garden without them. Thank you for all the extremely helpful information!

They grow really well but tall and a little scraggly in my garden in Ventura. CA. The mesh idea will help a lot because staking doesn’t work. I love the scent. I will have to order some seeds.

The Chabaud French heirloom carnations are highly fragrant.

I’m interested in the sweet clove scent more than appearance; all the carnations in my area have almost no scent.

My dad and uncles had competitions on who could grow the largest blooms and now retired myself would love to have a go myself in the UK. I like the old varieties especially and check the garden centre shelves often. Keep up the great work. Regards Rich.

We offer just the seeds but we can only send seeds within the U.S. and Canada at this time.
