Dianthus caryophyllus 'King of The Blacks'

This is the 'drama KING' of the carnation family! Clumps of evergreen silvery foliage provide the foundation for upright 18" stems topped with clove scented flowers with petals of such dark red that they appear velvet black! Long bloom season, excellent candidate for the cutting garden..long lasting in the vase. Sunny spot in well drained, alkaline soil.
