Carnations grow 16-18 "and make great borders or edges of the garden. They grow well and bloom in spring, lasting through the summer. The perennial species are hardy and can withstand light frost. Perennials should be mulched for winter protection against extreme cold temperatures. Carnations have few problems with insects and diseases and may occur early with biological or chemical insecticides and fungicides as appropriate treatment.
They can even be successfully planted in flowerbeds or containers. They produce a spicy clove-like scent, and the most common colors are white, red and pink. Carnations are often called "Pinks" in the garden. They are simply made on the basis of the many flowers on the stem, by squeezing out of all the flowers, with the exception of the center or at the end button.
