Spray carnations were developed through selective breeding to produce multiple smaller blooms instead of a single large head. White varieties have long been prized in floristry for their purity, symbolism, and reliability as a filler or secondary flower. Colombia’s high-altitude farms produce some of the world’s best spray carnations due to their ideal climate and consistent quality.
Climate:Tropical highland climates
GROWING CONDITIONS
Carnations thrive in well-draining, slightly alkaline soil with full sun exposure. Consistent watering, good air circulation, and cool night temperatures enhance stem strength and bloom production. Regular deadheading and nutrient-rich feeding support continuous flowering. Post-harvest, they benefit from clean water, rehydration, and cool storage.
Symbol:Purity, sincerity, and remembrance
USES
Spray Carnation White is ideal for wedding bouquets, sympathy arrangements, everyday floral designs, and soft romantic palettes. Its multiple heads add volume economically, while its long vase life makes it a florist favorite. It pairs beautifully with roses, eucalyptus, hydrangea, and pastel-toned florals.
