The MayFord Carnation Giant Chabaud (Double Mixed) is a classic garden favorite, widely appreciated for its delightful spicy fragrance and ornamental value. It is best sown in seed trays or directly in well-drained seed beds, ensuring light soil coverage and consistent moisture for successful germination.
Seedlings should be transplanted at 30 cm intervals, with a final plant height of up to 60 cm, ensuring strong growth and abundant flowering. Pressing down the soil after sowing promotes better root establishment, while regular watering encourages lush blooms.
Flowering occurs approximately 180 days after planting, producing large, ruffled double flowers that make excellent cut flowers for floral arrangements.
