Carnation (Dianthus) – The Chic Revival of the "Flower of God"
At KvětinyExpres.cz, we see the Carnation as a symbol of rediscovered sophistication. Once unfairly labeled as "retro," it has made a triumphant return to high-end floristry in 2026. Prized for its sculptural, ruffled petals and extraordinary longevity, it is now a staple of sustainable and luxury floral design.
Why it’s a modern icon:
-
Textural Masterpiece: Its dense, fringed head adds a rich volume that few other flowers can achieve.
-
Endless Durability: With a vase life often exceeding two weeks, it is the gold standard for long-lasting floral gifts.
-
Meaning: It symbolizes distinction, fascination, and heartfelt gratitude.
Florist Monika’s Tip (Quality Expert): "Carnations are the bedrock of our long-lasting arrangements. They are the stars of our popular designs like 'Touch of Tenderness' (Dotek něhy). I also rely on them heavily for professional funeral work in our flowers for farewell section, where resilience is vital. For those who love a vintage aesthetic, our Retro MDŽ bouquet is a must-see. You can find our full range in the carnations category."
