"Hi,

They might be boring, but carnations are one of my favorite flowers. Would I be able to buy cut carnations from a flower shop and use those as cuttings? What cut flowers from a shop make good cutting for growing new plants? Cuttings work a lot faster than seeds.

Michael

The flower stems are cut above the base that can be rooted to make new plants. You'd need some of the basal growth for propagation. The growth pattern is more apparent with pinks that are planted in rockeries, form a vegetative mat with clearly differentiated flower stems coming up out of it in season. Carnations and other pinks can be bought at garden centers as small inexpensive size plants in spring.

Carnations can be planted in flowerbeds, borders, rock gardens and even containers like pots. Carnations will flower well into fall if they are guarded against harsh weather. The flowers with the longest vase-life, Carnations last up to 2-3 weeks. Though growing Carnations does not require much labor, some factors are to be considered while growing them.
