  • Species and varieties: Dianthus caryophyllus, commonly known as the carnation or clove pink, is a species of Dianthus. Varieties include 'Grenadin', 'Chabaud', and 'Giant Chabaud'.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Dianthus caryophyllus can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are often prized for their fragrance and traditional forms, while hybrids may offer improved disease resistance and varied colors.
  • Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Pruning back the plant after the first bloom can promote a second flush of flowers. Staking may be necessary for taller varieties to prevent lodging.
  • Fertilization needs: Carnations benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. A slow-release fertilizer or a liquid feed high in potassium can enhance blooming and overall plant health.
  • Hardiness zones: Dianthus caryophyllus is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 6-9.
  • Climate requirements: Carnations prefer a temperate climate with full sun exposure. They thrive in well-drained soil and require moderate watering. They are tolerant of drought once established but perform best with regular moisture.
