Summary

Grenadin King Of Blacks is one of the darkest carnations available. Plants are 18 to 24 inches tall with blue-green, mounded foliage. Double fringed flowers are dark reddish-purple to a deep purple. Flowers are so dark in color that they have the appearance of black velvet. Flowers have a clove-like scent and attract an array of beneficial insects. Grenadin King Of Blacks makes a dramatic statement to cut flower arrangements.
