Notes
'Siskin Clock' carnation (Dianthus 'Siskin Clock') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant white flowers have a red center and red petal edges, and they bloom in spring and again in summer.
