BRAZILIAN CARNATION RED

Brazilian Carnation is an annual plant reaching up to 80 cm in height, featuring a powerful habitus and lanceolate, opposite leaves. Its flowers are borne on short stems in high inflorescences, colored in white, yellow, pink, red, and dark purple shades. Each bud consists of bilabiate petals measuring 4–6 cm in length and up to 5 cm in diameter, giving the color brightness and expressiveness.

The plant is widely used as a decorative crop in garden flower beds and for cut flowers. Seeds are typically sown in March; after the first shoots appear, they are transplanted to open ground in mid-May. Flowering begins in June and continues until the first frost, ensuring a long blooming period.

To improve bush branching, pinching the plants at the 5–6 true leaf stage is recommended. Thanks to its vibrant coloration and cold resistance, Brazilian Carnation has become a popular choice for both professional florists and gardening enthusiasts.
