DESCRIPTION

Carnations or Dianthus caryophyllus are bright flowers with a double layer of silky petals that come in an array of colours. They are a popular choice for cut flowers because of their long, sturdy stems. Along with Snowdrops, they’re the January birth flower. 

Carnations prefer full sunlight, but they can tolerate some shade. If you are growing carnations indoors, place them near a south-facing window where they can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

They require regular watering, but you need to be careful not to overwater them. Water the plants deeply once a week, making sure that the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but do not let it dry out completely. Avoid getting water on the leaves or flowers, as this can cause fungal diseases.

Their blooming period can last up to eight weeks which is another reason why they’re such a firm favourite for brightening up your garden.

*Plant may come in full bloom, flower buddings, or none depending on individual batch*
Comes in assorted color.
