Ou Cloves are light, slightly shade-resistant, cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and have strong resistance to stress. It is native to Europe and cultivated throughout China. It is planted and propagated in cultivation, and it can also be divided into plants, and transplanting is easy to survive. Used for garden viewing and planting. As an excellent horticultural variety, it can beautify the landscape or cut flowers.

The cultural background of the clove
Historical meaning
Clove, the 5th century AD, the flower of St. Julia in Corsica.
Since ancient times, there has been a habit of linking saints with specific flowers in Christianity. This is due to the fact that when the church commemorates the saints, it often uses the blooming flowers to decorate the altar! In the medieval Catholic monastery, there are a variety of flowers planted like a garden center. Over time, the church will combine 366 days of saints with different flowers to form a so-called flower calendar. Most of the monasteries at that time were located in southern Europe, while southern Europe had a Mediterranean climate, which was ideal for planting flowers and plants. The cactus belonging to the family Oleaceae, the sage represented by the 5th century AD, died in the death of the girl who did not compromise with the paganism, St. Julia, who finally died in Corsica.
