A fragrant and popular wallflower.
Dianthus deltoides white on the balcony or in the garden
Balcony carnations thrive in beds and window boxes or pots as well as in meadows and pastures. Even in wall crevices and on areas with gravel and stones or on dry slopes, the humble carnation flowers are happy. They love to grow where the soil is warm. Because balcony carnations are so undemanding, they can also tolerate nutrient-rich soil if you mix in a little gravel or sand. They can cope with full sun as well as light partial shade in the open, at the edge of the garden, on the balcony or in the garden.

Deltoides White is an evergreen perennial and delights the eyes and nose with its enchanting, fragrant flowers from June to August. Because it needs a lot of energy for its flowers, wilted flowers and stems should be cut off. It is beautiful in group planting, slope planting or bed edging as a bee pasture, thus doing biodiversity a favour. In some German states, this species of carnation flower is already on the red list of endangered species, and its growing areas have become few and far between. It is also called, under other names, heath carnation, marsh carnation, thunderbird carnation and maiden carnation. Their leaves form clusters and creep above the ground. The fresh white Deltoides carnation flowers are even more beautiful in combination with a colourful ground cover rose.
