Chinese terry carnation
Carnation is perhaps one of the most common flowers in our country. In Soviet times, it was made a kind of symbol on May 9 and even gave it the status of a male flower. Now the carnation not only has not lost its popularity, but has become much more widespread. It is used in a wide variety of compositions and bouquets. At the same time, carnations can be seen not only in festive bouquets, but also in interior decoration or landscape design.
This flower has a huge number of very different varieties and varieties. One of the most popular now is the Chinese terry clove. It is a perennial plant native to northern China and very different from the carnation we are used to seeing.
The Chinese terry carnation is currently widely used in landscaping as an annual, although it is a perennial plant. This type of carnation blooms from mid-July and continues to bloom until late autumn. The flowers of such a carnation have a fairly diverse color, and their petals are decorated with fringed teeth along the edge.
The Chinese terry carnation is grown in brightly lit sunny places. This flower does not tolerate frost very badly, so it may die during spring or autumn frosts. Propagated by seeds. The cultivation of this species is practiced both with the help of seeds and seedlings.
As for the soil, the Chinese double clove prefers slightly acidic or neutral loamy and sandy loamy soils.
Beautiful flower. It really does not tolerate frost. Every year we plant a new variety. A few years ago there was a mild winter and last year's carnation rose in the spring. The flowers were so large that we were surprised how she did not disappear over the winter.
