Spray carnations, also known as miniature or spray dianthus, are a type of carnation that produces multiple flowers on a single stem. Unlike traditional carnations that have one large flower per stem, spray carnations can have up to 20 small flowers clustered together.  With their ruffled and frilly appearance, spray carnations are a popular choice for romantic and feminine arrangements. They are often used as filler flowers in bouquets and centerpieces. Spray carnations symbolize love, fascination, and distinction.
