Carnation 'Can Can Scarlet' F1

Carnation ‘Can Can Scarlet’ F1 is a vibrant and compact variety that delivers months of brilliant scarlet-red blooms. Each plant forms a neat mound of silver-green foliage, topped with clusters of richly coloured, lightly fragrant flowers from early summer right through into autumn.

At Oasis Cottage, we grow ‘Can Can Scarlet’ both outdoors and in the greenhouse, where it continues flowering even through winter. Treated as an annual in the garden, it can also be overwintered in pots under cover for an even earlier display the following year. This makes it a particularly rewarding and flexible choice for gardeners who enjoy a pop of colour that lasts.

Perfect for sunny borders, containers, and cutting for small arrangements, this carnation thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in Canterbury’s conditions and low-maintenance once established.
