Abstract
A new spray carnation cultivar particularly distinguished by its very short and bushy growth, its continuous and prolific production of very small flowers, and the very light pink or spiraea red color of the outer two-thirds of the flower petals with more than one-half of the inner third of the petal body covered by a dark violet color. This very striking color combination provides a very dainty and distinctive blossom, suitable to be worn as a buttonhole decoration, and the plant itself has a vigorous, upright and rapid growth habit with abundant foliage providing a rather dense plant body particularly suitable for pot plant culture.
