Kenya, due to its warm climate, provides ideal conditions for Carnation production on Flamingo’s farms in the region of Mount Kenya, and this is coupled with supply from Southern Europe. Carnations are available in sprays, multiple small blooms on one stem, or as one large bloom on a stem, typically known as a Standard Carnation.
Carnations are sometimes referred to by their scientific name, Dianthus, and are readily available all year round. There are many different colours including white, yellow, pink, red, fuchsia and light green, and they are also grown to produce bi colour and flecked petals.
