Where Do Carnations Grow

Today, most commercial carnations are grown in Colombia, Israel and Spain. The carnations used for cut flowers are relatives of dianthus, also known as pinks.

Where do carnations grow best?

Carnations should be planted in an area that gets four to six hours of sunlight per day. They prefer sunlight rather than shade, so keep this in mind when deciding on their placement. When planting carnations, be sure to use well-drained soil that is fertile and slightly alkalized (pH 6.7-6.9).

What state grows the most carnations?

* BOGOTA IS THE CAPITAL OF CARNATIONS: No drug jokes please, but Bogota, Colombia, produces “most” of the world’s carnations, according to Perry. Israel, Kenya, Spain, and the American states of California and Colorado also grow a lot of carnations.
