Well i asked from Mr Ashfaq pride seeds and he said that none of these carnations in the catalog are fragrant and the chaubaud mix is included in the catalog i think. You personally checked their fragrance then i can buy the seeds.

I guess none... our weather is too hot for them... good quality carnations for cut flowers are vegetatively propagated plants, like the Dahlia... I dont know whether they are available here...

Khabbab grow with confidence Carnantion Chaubaud is highly fragrant.i use to grow it but now i have replaced it with F1 Lilliput. i do not like the tall Chaabaud series.carnation in our climate are not per.as Izhar said there may be vegi type carnations like the vegi petunia,Supertunia series.
