    GENERAL INFORMATION

    • The dianthus has been widely cultivated for more than two thousand years, based on its mention in ancient Greek texts. Pinning down its native locale is difficult, but some botanists theorize it originated somewhere in the Mediterranean. Dianthus translates from the Greek as "divine flower," while "carnation" is a Latin word meaning "crown" or "garland."

      Traditionally, carnations symbolize captivation, distinction, and love, especially motherly love. The flower is associated with the tears of the virgin Mary in Christian legend, which is why it has such a strong connection to the maternal.

    SOIL REQUIREMENT

    • Carnations require excellent drainage and alkaline soil, which is also referred to as "sweet" soil. Alkaline soil tends to have slightly higher concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and sodium. If your soil tends to be acidic, adding a bit of lime when planting carnations will get them off to a good start.

    FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

    • Newly growing carnations can benefit from a small amount of slow-release fertilizer. A quick-release fertilizer can burn the plant. Overfertilization can cause the carnation's roots to shrivel, which may trigger conditions for root rot.

    LIGHT REQUIREMENT

    • Although they do best in full sun, carnations are fine with some partial shade. Too much bright afternoon sun might cause the petals of brightly colored carnations to fade. Plant your carnations where they'll get morning sun, if possible, to keep the flowers looking fresh and the colors bright.

    WATER REQUIREMENT

    • Dianthus carophyllus are relatively drought tolerant but they need regular water in spring when their flower buds are forming. During dry spells in summer, they may need an extra drink of water. Water at the base of the plant. However, be careful not to overwater, or the leaves may yellow and the flower petals may droop or fall off.
