Set of 3 or 6 Large Plants - Pink Purple Carnation, Ready to Plant in Your Garden, 10.5 cm

Vibrant, long-flowering carnation plants bred for strong performance, compact growth and richly scented blooms—perfect for pots, containers, borders and patio displays.

Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) are classic flowering plants loved for their frilled, multi-layered blooms and distinctive clove-like fragrance. These high-yielding, repeat-flowering varieties produce an abundance of bold, colourful flowers throughout the season, including shades of white, deep red, pink, purple and striking bicolours. With a naturally compact, bushy growth habit, they typically reach 20–40 cm tall, making them ideal for containers, edging, window boxes and small garden spaces while delivering consistent colour and strong visual impact.

Our carnation plants are professionally grown in high-quality peat-free compost and freshly delivered directly from our UK nursery in Yorkshire, in plastic-free, giftable packaging. Supplied as strong, well-established 10.5 cm plants, they feature healthy root systems, sturdy stems and vigorous flowering potential, ensuring fast establishment and reliable, long-lasting blooms in your garden or patio.
