Sending Carnations to Loved Ones

Some floral historians believe that carnations are native to the Mediterranean basin, while others trace them back to the Far East. Wherever these delicate blooms originally hail from, they have been cultivated (and loved) for many years. Here are our top four reasons for sending a loved one a carnation flower delivery:

• First, they come in a rainbow of colors, from soft pastel pink, yellow, peach, and white to sultry red and passionate purple.

• Second, many varieties of carnations smell as good as they look, with a fragrance reminiscent of sweet cloves.

• Third, you can send carnations for both joyous and mournful occasions. They are often included in bouquets of sympathy flowers, wedding flowers, thank you flowers, and birthday flowers.

• And finally, carnations have plenty of staying power to delight your gift recipients longer than many cut flowers.

Do Carnations Pair Nicely with Other Flowers?

Absolutely. Carnations are some of the most versatile flowers and go beautifully with gerbera daisies, tulips, lilies, and of course, roses. A rose delivery with ruffled carnations is sure to put a smile on their face. In our professional opinion, this is one of the best flower pairings in the world.

Caring for a Carnation Bouquet Delivery

Wondering how to keep your carnations delivery fresh and lovely as the day it arrived? By following these steps, you can keep your bouquet alive for up to three full weeks.

• Fill a vase about 2/3 full with lukewarm tap water

• Add a packet of flower food, or a teaspoon full of sugar

• Cut the carnation stems at an angle with kitchen shears

• Remove any leaves that would sit below the surface of the water

• Arrange the flowers in the vase

• Change out the water every 2-3 days

• Trim ¼ inch off the stem during each water change

Since carnations are affected by ethylene, a harmless gas that is released by ripening bananas and other produce, it’s best to keep your floral arrangement far away from bowls of fruit.

What Does Sending Carnations Mean?

Carnations have been presented as cherished gifts for centuries and are rich in symbolism. When selecting carnations for delivery, consider the meanings behind each hue:

• White carnations are said to convey purity, faithfulness, and luck

• Pink carnations symbolize love and enchantment and are often sent on Mother’s Day

• Yellow carnations express support for someone who has experienced disappointment or dejection

• Purple carnations denote spontaneity and capriciousness

• Deep red carnations represent affection, love, and devotion

• Green carnations are given to express good luck and fortune
