Carnations Last For Long Time
Carnations stay flowering year round with solid colored petals edged in contrasting colors and a strong fragrance in garden varieties. They require pinching to branch, staking, and regular feeding. cuttings from December to February root in 4 to 6 weeks and should be kept moist in a sandy peat mix before potting for garden planting.

Gardening work can be harsh on skin in heat with sun wind and dust. Hand cream provides moisture and oil to restore softness and protection. apply before gardening and again at night to prevent roughness and cracking.
