Green flower i.d. please?

[dave_norm_smith]

My research turned this up, so don't hold your breath!

Bred by Hilverda kooij in Holland, and winner of countless awards this year is a stylish Dianthus barbatus called Green Trick ‘Temarisou’, unfortunately, this is only available in the cut flower markets since it is a registered brand of the Hilverda Group and licensed out only to commercial cut flower growers, so it may be years before those of us who are interested in growing this plant in our gardens, could possibly obtain one.

Pity!

Carnation "Green Trick"

Wonder if the seeds will be made commercially available?

I've just seen it in T&M's latest catalogue: code DK94045 (£8 for three tiny plug plants)

I've been searching for seed to , but with no luck. I used them in sister in laws wedding flowers in December-flowers were all dark red and lime green. They last ages but can still only find them as plug plants same as you two sheds. Going to keep looking though!

They can probably only be propagated vegetatively LG, ie by cuttings not seed (same as Bocking 14 comfrey)

Thanks for that T_S. I am tempted...

Seahorse: request a catalogue. They're being sent out with a £5 (off anything) voucher ...

I've got one... somewhere. Might have to brave the snow and go through the recycling!

Aaaaah, that would make sense, two sheds There's not alot of info about them out there. May have to invest in some then. Sister in law will definitely be getting them for her birthday pressie though.
