Mother’s Day and carnations go hand in hand. Kagawa cultivates many varieties of carnation, which are highly valued throughout Japan for their excellent quality and long-lasting freshness. The word “carnation” actually includes many different varieties, which can be distinguished by the number of petals, plant height, or quantity and size of blooms. In Kagawa, cultivation of carnations began in the early 1930s. Now, the majority of carnations are grown in greenhouses or similar facilities.
