Well, hey Mindy!
Welcome to our forum!
Standard carnations are the ones that you get when you order floral arrangements and bouquets! They are the ones with large floral heads!
They are certainly easy to find at any florist shop and even in grocery stores!
You can use their long stems that are great for starting cuttings!
The cuttings should have two nodes each, one node goes into the soil for rooting with a short stem below it (carefully remove the leaves on this node). The other rnode stays above the soil, which will eventually sprout!
These perennials are not cold hardy below zone 7, so hopefully you are in a warmer zone such as zone 8 and 9!
