Carnations are a flowering plant that usualt grow to be between 2 and 3 feet high. The leaves are slender and grasslike, and the blossoms are fairly large. They have toothed edges and a rich, spicy fragrance.
Carnations are native to southern Europe. The original carnations were white, but a variety of colour forms have ben developed. In England and other countries where the climate is suitable, the carnation is grown outdoors as a border flower. This form is hardier and more fragrant than the greenhouse carnation.
The green house, or florist, carnation is an important commercial plant in England and the United States. Carnations may bloom throughout the year, depending on its cultivation and the climate. They are usually raised by planting young shoots from the stems or mature plants, or by bending one of the stems into the ground again so that it forms a new root. Carnations require a rich, loamy soil combined with a small amount of manure, leaf mold, and some sand.
