Missantic Cotton Candy is by far one of my favorite carnations. This standard carnation produces large, beautifully ruffled double blooms in the prettiest soft pink. It has been incredibly easy to grow for us, with the classic carnation fragrance and excellent vase life.

Cotton Candy has been discontinued and is now very difficult to source. These plants are propagated from our own personal stock, allowing us to continue growing and sharing one of our favorites.

When to Plant

Carnations are cool-season flowers that prefer mild temperatures and can tolerate frost once established.

Zones 7+: Fall planting is ideal. Plants can establish through the cooler months for beautiful spring blooms.

Zones 6 and below: Fall planting is possible, but plants may need winter protection during severe or prolonged freezes.

These recommendations are intended as a growing guide; winter survival can vary depending on your climate, weather conditions, and the protection provided.
