Cheerful and softly scented, Dianthus ‘Marie Chabaud’ is a charming heirloom variety with frilled, lemon-yellow blooms and the signature clove fragrance of vintage garden pinks. With tall, slender stems and delicate pastel tones, it’s a refreshing addition to mixed borders and floral arrangements, bringing both scent and softness to the summer garden.

Best for: Scented cutting gardens, romantic bouquets, pastel floral schemes, and heirloom plantings.

 

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
