Carnation ‘Missantic Lege Pink’
If your bouquet is missing that one element that says “I’m cool, calm, and collected, but still a little bougie,” this is it. Missantic Lege Pink is a dreamy pastel carnation with soft, dusty rose petals.
Part of the Missantic collection from Selecta, this variety brings muted, modern tones to the carnation world, trading in the typical brights for a more sophisticated, sandy-sunset vibe. It’s a go-to for wedding pros and designers chasing that soft, neutral color palette with just enough edge to stand out.
Why it’s a florist favorite:
-
A muted, rosey that stands out on it's own or works beautifully as a transition hue
-
Long vase life (because no one has time for sad, floppy flowers)
-
Light fragrance for that classic carnation charm
-
Perfect for weddings, events, and on-trend bouquets
-
Mixes effortlessly with dried elements, garden roses, or moody foliage
-
Holds up well in transit and design work
