Crazy for Carnations

Carnations are a popular choice for gardens and homes due to their wide variety and color choice. Carnations come in annual, biennial and perennial types and can grow in flower beds or flowerpots alike.

Carnations prefer sunlight over shade; they need about 6-8 hours of sunlight to blossom and grown. When putting carnations around your home, keep in mind that yellowing on the leaves is a sign of over-watering so keep an eye on the water level and remove any dying blooms or leaves to keep those blooms nice and fresh. If cared for properly, carnations can last up to 21 days!
