Carnation (Dianthus) – The Great Comeback of the “Flower of God”
The Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) belongs to the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) and comes from the Mediterranean, where it grows as a perennial on dry, sunny slopes. Its Greek name translates as “flower of god” – and in recent years it really has shaken off its old-fashioned reputation to become a darling of modern florists. The reason is simple: few flowers offer such rich colours, such deep, ruffled texture, and such remarkable staying power.
Why the carnation has become a modern favourite:
-
A colour revolution: From powdery nude tones through dusty pink to deep burgundy – carnation can stand in for far pricier peonies in a bouquet.
-
A champion of longevity: While other flowers fade after a week, an A1-quality carnation still looks great after 14 days.
-
Symbolism: It represents fascination, deep love, and gratitude – a flower with real character.
Tip from Monika (Owner, A1 Quality Specialist): “To me, the carnation is a symbol of absolute reliability. Customers love that their bouquet stays beautiful for an incredibly long time. It is the backbone of our bestsellers like Touch of Tenderness or Proud Princess. It is also an irreplaceable farewell flower, where long-lasting beauty is key to dignity. And if you want a real dose of nostalgia in a modern outfit, our Retro International Women's Day Bouquet is an absolute hit every spring.”
