I am growing these for the first time this year. Lovely bushy plants and the most wonderful flowers - all with blackcurrant picotee edges, all slightly different. Will definitely grow again.

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) also called grenadine, or clove pink is a flowering plant in the genius Dianthus, family Caryophyllaceae. It is probably native to the Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 year. One of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers, the carnation is appreciated for its ruffled appearance, clove-like scent, and extended blooming period.

Enriching any garden's color scheme, Dianthus caryophyllus 'King of the Blacks' (Carnation) is an eye-catching, loosely-tufted, herbaceous perennial with a profusion of clove-scented, dark burgundy-red, double flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), atop firm stems. Elegantly rising above a low mound of evergreen, gray-green, linear foliage, the velvety, ruffled blossoms are produced in succession from late spring to mid-summer.
