Description
Brighten your home with classic Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus), known for their ruffled petals and sweet, spicy fragrance. Blooming from late spring through summer—and often into fall with proper care—carnations produce showy flowers in beautiful shades of pale yellow, white, salmon, pink, and purple. Their long-lasting blooms and pleasant scent make them perfect for adding a pop of color indoors or giving as a thoughtful gift.
Carnations thrive in bright indirect sunlight and prefer well-draining soil. Water about once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to help prevent root rot. Remove faded blooms to encourage repeat flowering and feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring for strong, healthy growth. With the right care, these fragrant flowers will continue to brighten your space for months.
