Are carnations perennial

Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) are typically grown as annuals or biennials in many gardens, but they can also be classified as perennials in some climates. In warmer regions, they may survive and bloom for multiple years, while in colder areas, they often need to be replanted each year. Some varieties, like the pinks (Dianthus deltoides), are true perennials and can thrive for several years. Overall, their classification can depend on the specific variety and growing conditions.
