Carnations enjoy a sunny area protected from wind. Plant them into a bed rich in compost and old manure, and add lime if your soil is acidic. They also prefer a soil that is a little on the sandy side. You can support the plants with a wire netting guard, often available in garden centers. Water regularly, but never waterlog the plant, or get water on the flowers. Trim back quite hard after flowering and take cuttings which will readily form roots..

Carnations can get leggy and unattractive. It is recommended to pinch them early so they look better later in the summer.

Give the carnations lots of sun (4-6 hours) and about 1 to 2 inches of water a week.
