How much sunlight does a Carnation Flower need?
One thing I found out with my years at a retail garden center is that geraniums don't need the amount of water that we think.
Geraniums like to dry out almost completely before re watering. You want to see the dirt pull away from the side of the container before watering.
If you notice, in the cemetarys there are alot of 'spikes, vinca vine, and geraniums in the urns. The reason is because the are very tolerant of drying out and do much better without any attention.
I find that geraniums do much better in partial sun. All day early sun is fine but too much late day hot sun from the west is too hard on them.
Do remember to dead head your geraniums right at the joint of the stem so that it almost snaps when it comes off. If you don't do it there you won't get the amount of blooms that a geranium can put out in a season! Small amount of fertilizer if any.

Toxicity of the herbaceous flowering perennial known as a "carnation" (genus Dianthus).
- Leaves and stem contain triterpenoid saponins which, when ingested, cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain as well as nervous disorders.
- Skin irritation (contact dermatitis) may occur upon exposure to the stem & leaves.
- For humans, the plant has a low level of toxicity, so it would take large quantities to be symptomatic, and it is considered nonfatal.
