Carnation (Diantus), also known as hvozdík, is a perennial plant that can be either annual or biennial. There are more than 300 species, blooming from spring to autumn, and they can be grown in gardens, greenhouses, and rockeries. After a period of being less popular, carnations have become one of the most loved cut flowers again. Thanks to their wide color palette and long-lasting nature, they are ideal for bouquets such as Touch of Tenderness and Romantic Bouquet Proud Princess. In a vase, carnations last up to 14 days, making them popular in funeral arrangements as well.
