About carnations
Versatile flowers valued for their variety, colour selection and suitability for floral distribution.
Carnations earn their place in wholesale programmes through range and reliability: one flower comes in a broad spread of colours, holds well in mixed bouquets and suits both retail bunches and large event work.
Buyers usually specify standard or spray type, colour mix, stem length and stems per bunch. Tell us whether you want single-colour boxes or an assorted pack, and we match the request against what growers in our network are cutting.
Carnations in India are mostly grown under cover, which spreads supply across much of the year. Quality is strongest in the cooler months, so we confirm varieties and volumes with each quote rather than in advance.
