Carnations

FRESH FRESH FRESH Direct From The Wholesaler

Known as the “Flower of the Gods,” carnations are admired for their beautifully ruffled petals, vibrant range of colours, delicate spicy fragrance (depending on variety), and remarkable longevity. They traditionally symbolise love, fascination, and distinction, while their meaning can vary beautifully depending on their colour.

Carnations (Dianthus), have been cherished in the floral world for centuries and now, they’re enjoying a beautiful renaissance. Once thought of as a flower from another generation, carnations have found their way back into modern weddings, stylish home arrangements, and contemporary bouquets, bringing with them a touch of nostalgia that feels wonderfully relevant today.

Carnations have a fascinating history, having been used in ancient Greek ceremonial garlands and celebrated throughout the centuries for their beauty and versatility. Today, they continue to be valued not only as exquisite cut flowers, but also in perfumery and as delicate culinary garnishes.

With their enduring beauty and rich symbolism, carnations are particularly meaningful as the birth flower for January and the traditional flower for a first wedding anniversary, making them a wonderfully versatile choice for celebrations, thoughtful gifts, weddings, and everyday floral arrangements.
