Position: In the Garden: They are hardy and like an open, sunny, well drained position, plant 15-18" between each plant. If leaving them to flower in the garden the side shoots can be left to develop to give a longer show. Generally flowering from May to July.
They can be grown in an unheated greenhouse for exhibition,to produce the best flowers, free from weather damage and slightly earlier than those in the garden. They don't require winter heat, but ensure good ventilation all year round and external shade during the hottest part of the summer. They will require disbudding to give bigger individual blooms, alternatively leave all side buds to develop and they will flower more like a spray.
Grow in pots: This is an ideal way to enjoy your border carnations, either grow singularly in a 5" pot or create dramatic effect by growing several plants in a large container.
PLEASE NOTE: Border carnations will require supporting when the plants come up to flower, our plant supports No.2 are ideal for this
