Mini Carnations

You can identify Mini Carnations by their ruffled petals and double blossoms. Multi-branches stems will feature several blooms and are grown in many colors, including white, pink, red, purple, yellow, and orange. Mini carnations can also come in more than one color (bi-colors) and in frosted colors, where the edge of the petal is a different color from the blossom.

Perhaps more than any other flower, varieties of carnations have been used in celebrations the longest. In ancient Greece, carnations were used to create flower crowns during coronation ceremonies. Starting in 1907, white carnations were associated with Mother’s Day. Throughout the modern era, they’ve been used for boutonnières as a part of wedding ceremonies.

Mini Carnations are associated with pure love, meaning “my heart yearns for you”.
