Carnation Oscar Pink

Carnations are grown for their ruffled, clove-scented flowers held above neat grey-green foliage, and they flower for months through Perth's mild seasons. Compact pot varieties suit a container, a border edge or a picking patch. Full sun. Well-drained soil. Water regularly at the base rather than over the foliage. Deadhead spent flowers to keep the display going. Oscar is a pot carnation series bred for a uniform, tightly branched habit and heavy flowering.
