Finding Miniature Spicy Carnations (Dianthus): Burpee & Specialty Nurseries

Hundreds of Dianthus Exist—Many Clove-Scented

Your 20-ft border of fragrant, double pink miniatures sounds like a named cultivar. Local nurseries may not carry it.

Search Strategies

• Burpee.com – Dianthus section; request catalog.
• Search "clove-scented dianthus" or "miniature carnation perennial."
• Specialty perennial nurseries (Bluestone Perennials, Plant Delights, etc.).
• Garden forums: post description + "source wanted."

Persistence finds the exact match. The fragrance memory is worth it.
