Do carnations lose their scent?
I love carnations (dianthus). The first year that I plant, they smell
gorgeous; but I've noticed that the scent seems to disappear with age, even though the blooms are just as prolific -- anyone else notice this, with carnations or other highly scented blooms, or is it just too much shade? |

Could be anything but certainly Mrs Sinkins doesn't lose her scent ever and I've been growing it for years! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Thanks for replying. I have some white single-petal carnations (name long
forgotten) that bloom profusely but no scent this year. I was just curious as to whether too much watering, too much shade, old age, etc. could effect the scent of blooms as, in all my gardening books and magazines, I have never come across this question.......Fido "Janet Tweedy" wrote in message ...
