Carnation Velvet Red

Deep, saturated crimson with a velvety texture that catches light differently at every angle, the Carnation Velvet Red is a workhorse bloom that pulls serious visual weight in any arrangement. Each head is full and ruffled, with tightly layered petals and a rich hue that stays true from first cut through 12 or more days in the vase. These bulk carnations travel exceptionally well from Ecuador, arriving firm and hydrated, ready to open on your schedule.

Professional designers reach for wholesale Carnation Velvet Red when a composition needs anchoring color without the fragility of garden roses. They hold their own in large wedding centerpieces, ceremony arches, sympathy tributes, and high-volume event builds where stem reliability matters. The Velvet Red reads bold against ivory, blush, and burgundy, and pairs naturally with dusty miller, eucalyptus, and variegated pittosporum for texture contrast.

Sold farm-direct by the box in bunches of 10, these cut-to-order stems ship from Ecuador at peak freshness. On arrival, recut stems under water at a 45-degree angle and condition in cool, clean water for several hours before arranging to maximize performance.
