Tropical Plants

Carnations

10 years ago

Not a tropical plant I know but there are a lot in the garden centers here so I thought I'd give them a go. They have been very successful - good flowers and drought resistant. My question is: is it worth keeping them for a second year in (sub)tropical conditions.

Bit late seeing your post, but yes. and you can propagate more from tip and side growth... plenty of time yet before winter.
