Carnation Sunflor Peach Party

Common Name: Carnation 'Sunflor Peach Party'

Description: Carnation 'Sunflor Peach Party' (Dianthus caryophyllus 'Sunflor Peach Party') is a delightful perennial known for its unique play of colours across the seasons. In spring, it features numerous apricot-coloured blooms, and in summer, it develops a vivid red eye, creating a striking contrast between the dark centre of the flower and its lighter-coloured edge. This hardy variety thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun exposure, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. Its compact, mounded habit resembles a bouquet of flowers, making it an excellent choice for containers or garden beds.
