Dianthus caryophyllus 'Fenbow Nutmeg Clove' - 1 packet (20 seeds)
An old fashioned garden carnation with a unique and exquisite perfume. Flowers were used in the 17th century to add nutmeg-clove flavouring to red wine. The semi-double flowers of crimson-maroon are produced on neat and tidy plants, ideal for borders, containers and making a wonderful cut flower. The spicey clove flavoured flowers add a zest to salads and can be candied, made into jam or sweet-sour pickle!. Write to us for a free leaflet with recipes for a wide range of edible flowers.
