White Carnation

Our White Carnations can be used as a focal point or as a delicate filler to balance out larger, more vibrant blooms like roses, lilies, or thistle. Because of their long vase life, often lasting up to two weeks or more with proper care, white carnations are a favorite for both fresh bouquets and arrangements for special occasions. In addition to their aesthetic beauty, white carnations are known for their light, sweet fragrance, though it is more subtle compared to other flowers like roses or lilies. The flowers are also durable and relatively low-maintenance, making them a favorite for florists and flower enthusiasts alike. Whether in a traditional bridal bouquet, a modern centerpiece, or a simple vase arrangement, white carnations bring elegance, versatility, and lasting beauty to any floral display.

• Blooming Time: Carnations need 2-3 days to fully hydrate and bloom after following our care instructions under the “Flower Care” tab, ensuring they’re in peak condition for your event.
• Stem length: 19-21 inches long.
• Each bloom can range from 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter.
• One bloom per stem.

Flower Care Carnations:

Carnations are known for their long-lasting beauty and sweet fragrance, making them a popular choice for bouquets and floral arrangements. To ensure your cut carnations stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible, here are some helpful care tips.

1. Trim the Stems

• Cut at an Angle: Trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom using sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife. Cut at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water absorption.
• Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater to prevent air bubbles from entering the stems, which can block water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.

2. Remove Foliage Below Waterline

• Gently remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in the water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water clean, which will extend the life of your flowers.

3. Place in Fresh Water

• Use a Clean Vase: Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water (not too hot or cold), as warm water helps the roses hydrate more efficiently.
• Add Flower Food: If you have flower food, mix it into the water as instructed. Flower food provides essential nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth. If you dont have flower food, just plain water will do the trick.

4. Keep the Water Fresh

• Change the water everyday to keep it clear and free of bacteria. Always trim the stems slightly when changing the water to maintain hydration.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

• Keep your flowers in a cool, shaded spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Excessive heat can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.

6. Maintain Proper Temperature

• Flowers thrive in temperatures between 65-72°F (18-22°C). Avoid placing them in cold drafts or near heating vents, as extreme temperatures can shorten their lifespan.

7. Re-cut the Stems if Needed

• If the flowers begin to droop or wilt prematurely, re-cut the stems by about 1 inch and place them back into fresh water. This can help improve water absorption and revive the flowers.
