Carnation ‘Purple Wedding’ is an early-flowering variety with an upright, compact habit that blooms for months on end. Its striking bi-colour flowers open in vivid shades of magenta and purple with a deep, velvety eye, set against fresh green foliage. Perfect for adding bold colour to beds, borders, or pots, these blooms are also long-lasting when picked for the vase.
This hardy carnation thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and rewards with continuous colour from spring into summer. Low-maintenance and pollinator-friendly, it draws bees and birds to the garden while also making a cheerful indoor pot plant. Plant 25–30 cm apart for a full, flowering display that delivers impact with very little effort.
