DIANTHUS

Floral arrangements are the perfect gifts for all occasions. 

Chennai based Dianthus offers a variety of choices when it comes to floral arrangements.  Says Manivannan of Dianthus,“Basically we wanted to be known by the name of a flower.  Dianthus is the botanical name of a flower called ‘Carnation’ – a garden plant with sweet smelling white, pink or red flowers.  Even though carnation is a pretty common flower, we chose its botanical name not only because it was catchy, but also because it’s a ‘value for money’ flower, as it has a long life, even under exacting conditions”. 

Dianthus was started seven years back by a team of professionals, to cater to the high demand for good quality flowers.  Some of the founding members of Dianthus also happened to be members of Fleurop-Interflora (an international organisation comprising a network of 57,000 flower shops in over 150 countries). 

Having started out as just distributors, it was only two years ago, that they also started making flower arrangements.  In the last six months they have branched out into various other facets of the business in terms of tie-ups and so on.  They have tied-up with W. Hogewoning BV of Holland for distributing their dry flower arrangements, they are the only authorised distributors in Chennai for W. Hogewoning.  They are also the sole distributors in Tamil Nadu for Smithers Oasis of USA for floral foam and other floral accessories.

The flowers for their floral arrangements are purchased directly from reputed sources.  Their roses are procured from one of India’s largest rose farms, while their other flowers like Anthuriums, Carnations, Gerberas, Liliums, Gladioli, Chrysanthemums and others are procured on a daily basis from different farms situated in Dodbellapur, Hosur, Ooty, Yercaud, Coimbatore and other places.

What sets Dianthus apart from other florists in the city, is the wide variety of fresh flowers, dry flowers and a combination of fresh and dry flowers in creative arrangements.  There are always more choices of arrangement for our customers, it is not just a fan or a circular arrangement always.  We try to understand and translate their needs, we have made it a professional service, which in turn means better quality for the customer, adds Manivannan.

Dianthus takes care of floral arrangements for all kinds of occasions and places – petite posies, large lobby and hall arrangements, bridal bouquets, wreaths, baskets and other displays.  Apart from floral arrangements, Dianthus conducts training on how to make simple floral arrangements using locally available foliage.  They also undertake home delivery of floral arrangements.
