Caring for your Carnations

Straight from our growers' notes: how to unbox these stems, how to keep them, and what they look good next to.

Carnations are one of the hardest-working stems we ship, and they reward a little attention at the start.

Unpack them as soon as they arrive and free them from their sleeves so the blooms have room. Cut one to two inches off each stem, and here is the one trick worth knowing: cut between the nodes, never through the swollen joint. A stem cut on the node cannot drink.

Strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline and give them a few hours in clean, cool water with flower food before you design. They arrive a little closed and keep opening over the next two or three days.

Keep them away from the fruit bowl. Carnations are sensitive to the ethylene that ripening fruit gives off, and it will cut their life short faster than anything else.

Recommended Delivery Date: 2 days before your event / Keep flowers away from excessive heat.

Do not let anyone tell you these are filler. Grouped in threes and fives, carnations read as one big textured bloom and carry the visual weight of a far more expensive flower.

They also last out of water longer than almost anything else we ship, which makes them a safe bet for arches, garlands and anything you install the day before.

Plays well with roses, eucalyptus and solidago.
