Description
'Giant Chabaud Mixed' is a classic collection that features masses of large, fully double, fringed blooms in a variety of colours, from delicate pastel pinks and yellows to bright, bold reds and purples. Florists carnations are hardy, short-lived perennials, often treated as annuals or biennials. Delightfully floriferous and fragrant, they form pretty bluish-green leaves and are especially popular for cutting. The plants thrive in full sun in fertile, well-drained soils and are tolerant of drought and limestone.
Dianthus caryophyllus or Florists Carnation is a herbaceous, woody-based perennial that belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is famous for its unmistakable sweet and spicy clove-like fragrance. Although fairly short-lived, these fast-growing plants are able to flower 16 to 18 weeks after sowing. 'Giant Chabaud Mixed' reaches a mature height of 45-60 cm for a spread of 40 cm, forming rather loose clumps. The evergreen bluish to grey-green leaves are very elongated, carried on knotty stems. From July to September, they are topped with bouquets of large, very fragrant, fully double blooms with fringed petals. Colours include pale pink, rose pink, magenta, dark purple, red, pale yellow, cream and white.
Carnations are easy plants to grow, that are very low maintenance once established. Like bellflowers, columbines and Love-in-a-mist, they effortlessly fit into any garden. Grow along passageways such as garden paths or near an entrance to fully enjoy their sweetly scented blooms! In flower beds and borders, grow en masse to create beautiful drifts of colour. They are also suited for container gardens, hanging baskets or pots on the patio or balcony. Make sure to provide the plants with perfect drainage and a little fertilizer. Carnations are popular cut flowers for romantic bouquets or floral arrangements.

Planting and care
Sow from spring to autumn in good quality, well-drained sowing mix or compost, barely covering the seeds. Place in a propagator or polythene bag and keep in a light room at a temperature of 15-20°C until germination (generally 14 to 21 days). Make sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots and move them to a cooler place. When all risk of frost is over, harden them off gradually for 10-15 days before planting them out in a sunny location, in well-drained soil. Make sure to leave about 20-25 cm between each plant.
Carnations are easy plants to grow in well-drained soil, in a sunny position. They tolerate limestone and poor, stony soils however give best results in fertile, well-drained soil. They are very drought resistant. Carnations favour warm, drier climates as heavy rainfall can cause flower buds to rot. They are also less cold hardy if the ground is wet or waterlogged during the winter months. Dianthus caryophyllus is a short-lived perennial, often treated as a biennial and even an annual, especially in colder climates. It is low maintenance and easy to grow in pots. To be sure to save a cultivar from year to year, it is best to be on the safe side by taking cuttings.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
