Species and varieties: Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) are a popular flowering plant known for their frilled petals and sweet fragrance. The peach pink variety is a specific cultivar that produces blooms in shades of peach and pink.
Hybrid or heirloom: Carnations can be both hybrid and heirloom varieties. The peach pink carnation is often a hybrid, bred for its unique color and robust growth characteristics.
Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering. Pruning back the stems after the first bloom can promote a second flush of flowers. Staking may be necessary to support taller varieties.
Fertilization needs: Carnations benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. A 10-10-10 NPK fertilizer is recommended. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Hardiness zones: Carnations are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 6-9. They can tolerate light frost but thrive best in moderate climates.
Climate requirements: Carnations prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They require a moderate climate with temperatures ranging from 50°F to 70°F for optimal growth.
