Beschreibung

Cloves are a genus of plants belonging to the clove family (Caryophyllaceae). There are 320-600 species. Annual and perennial. Biennial plants bloom only in the 2nd year. Grow to about 50 cm tall. Herbaceous growing plants that develop strong taproots and sometimes rhizomes. Are cultivated as ornamentals, producing white, pink, red to purple flowers. Some varieties are fragrant. Contrary to the name, the clove botanically does not belong to the cloves but to the family of myrtle (Myrtaceae).
