Frilled, fragrant, and delightfully nostalgic, Dianthus ‘Chabaud Picotee Mix’ offers vintage charm in every bloom. This mix features ruffled, double flowers in creamy whites and soft pinks, each delicately edged with deeper rose, crimson, or coral hues. With a sweet clove scent and long, wiry stems, they’re ideal for cutting, lending an old-world softness and perfume to garden beds and bouquets alike.
Best for: Scented cottage gardens, romantic posies, vintage-style arrangements, and soft colour palettes.
Edible Flowers: Use the flower petals to garnish salads, desserts, soups, icing, and cold drinks. Flavor is of mild clove. Remove the petals from the flower base before consuming as the base can be quite bitter.
Approx 30 seeds per packet
