Carnations

Carnations are a flower that rewards those who look a little more closely. Their ruffled, layered petals — each one folded into the next in a structure that's almost architectural — carry a richness that photographs don't fully capture. Underestimated by many, adored by those who know them. And unlike almost any other flower, they last.

Grown across Kenya's highland farms alongside our roses and sunflowers, our carnations benefit from the same altitude-driven growing conditions that give Kenyan flowers their globally recognised quality. The result is carnations with unusually vivid colour saturation, strong stems, and a vase life that frequently exceeds two weeks with proper care. Pure white for purity and new beginnings. Soft pink for gratitude and a mother's love. Red for deep affection. Yellow for friendship. Soft purple for something a little unexpected.

Carnations hold particular significance at Mother's Day, where historically they represent a mother's enduring love. Their durability also makes them a meaningful choice for sympathy arrangements, where a tribute that remains beautiful for days carries its own form of respect. Same-day delivery across Nairobi, as single-variety bouquets or mixed with roses and gerberas.
