Wholesale Red Carnations are the unsung heroes of Valentine’s Day, offering a classic, passionate hue that rivals the traditional rose. While often celebrated for their affordability, these blooms carry a profound meaning rooted in history: their scientific name, Dianthus, means "flower of the gods," and in the language of flowers, deep red carnations specifically symbolize deep love, admiration, and affection. This makes them a powerful, romantic choice for holiday bouquets, "Carnation Grams," and intimate table arrangements.
These "Fancy" grade carnations are characterized by their large, ball-shaped heads packed with rich, ruffled petals and their long, sturdy stems. They are prized for their exceptional longevity, often outlasting roses by days or even weeks, making them a favorite for recipients who want to enjoy their gift well beyond February 14th. Their subtle, spicy clove fragrance adds a nostalgic and sensory layer to any design.
For fundraisers and large events, Red Carnations are the ultimate strategic choice. They provide the iconic "Valentine Red" impact at a fraction of the cost of roses, allowing for higher profit margins or lush, voluminous designs on a budget. Pair them with white Baby's Breath and Leatherleaf fern for a traditional, romantic look, or mass them tightly together in low centerpieces for a modern, velvety textural effect. Sold in bulk bunches of 25 stems, they are always farm-fresh and ready to perform.
