You can call Marie Chabaud Carnations mellow yellow! These light yellow carnations will bloom into 1 to 3 inch wide flowers in only 4 to 6 weeks in the summer! Marie Chabaud Carnation seeds like to soak up the sun, so plant them in full sun, but if you live in a hot climate, they will do better in partial shade. Marie Chabaud Carnations also make wonderful dried flowers that can be used in decorations or crafts.
