Cut Flower Carnation Chabaud Seedling Pack
Dianthis caryophyllus
Cut Flower Carnation seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.
Sprays of beautiful fluffy scented flowers on top of tall green/grey stems - and they last and last in the vase! Carnations may be an old fashioned cut flower but the oldies are a favourite for a reason. Easy to grow and highly productive, in our Marlborough climate they are short lived perennial, coming back as strong second year plants with no fuss required, and flowering all season long.

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting.
We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.
This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
