Three different propagation methods were used in this study. These methods are the propagation of D. orientalis by seed, cuttings and in vitro. The seeds and cuttings of this species collected from wild were used as the experimental material. The germination rate of the seeds and the rooting rate of the cuttings were determined. An effective surface sterilization protocol for in vitro seed germination of D. orientalis was developed. The seeds were germinated on MS medium. Germination success of the seeds on MS medium was determined %K Dianthus orientalis %K yar karanfili %K £¿elik %K £¿imlenme %K tohum %K in vitro. %U http://dergipark.org.tr/anadolu/issue/37021/424600
