The 2024 wedding season will be one for the books

The 2024 wedding season will be one for the books as couples everywhere seek to go ‘out with the old and in with the new’ for their special day. According to Jen Vazquez, the wedding photographer and marketing expert, one needs to keep in mind that your wedding should be an authentic reflection of your dreams.

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early Love,’ ‘I love You’ and’ ‘Purple Wedding.’ These pretty and petite pot carnations in romantic shades of pink, blush and purple, come from centuries of cultivation.

The association of carnations with love, fascination and distinction goes back some 2000 years, when they were named ‘the flower of the gods’ by Greek philosopher Theophrastus.

Like roses, many myths and legends surround the carnation, reinforcing its association with romance. They are woven into wedding bouquets and celebratory wreaths and are worn in buttonholes.

Modern pot carnations are compact and bushy, producing masses of bicoloured double flowers above grey-green stems and leaves. They can be planted as a showy border, are ideal for gravel gardens, and are hardy plants for patio containers and hanging baskets. They are perfect gift plants and can be grown indoors.

Unlike the older, taller carnation varieties that need staking and pinching, pot carnations don’t have to be fussed over.

And they're easy to grow!
- Pot carnations needs four to five hours of full sun. Plant in well composted soil that drains well.
- Space plants 30cm apart and plant the crown of the plant level with the surface of the soil. No need to mulch; the stems like to be free of lingering moisture.
- Once established, plants are drought tolerant and should not be over-watered. Let the soil dry out moderately before watering. The roots tend to rot in soggy soil.
- Fertilise once a month and cut back after flowering for a repeat flush of flowers.
- Container grown plants do best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Use a good quality potting soil that drains well and feed with Margaret Roberts Organic
- Supercharger after planting. Plants in containers need more water than those in the garden. Boost growth and flowers with a liquid fertiliser once a month.
