Lilac carnation flowers

Carnations prefer cooler climate - hence carnations only can be found in Mountain areas of the Philippine islands[/url}. Down at sea level I have never seen any carnations at al. I remember to have tried growing carnations myself in the Maledives islands during my 2 years work there in 1979/81, but never manage to have a single plant growing out of dozens of seed packs with a variety of smaller and larger carnations.

Hence if you are carnation lover - you need moderate temperature 20-30 degrees centigrade day time and 0-20 degrees night time are best.

Carnations love rich soil and regular irrigation.
