Luxury Greenery and Foliage
Greenery is the cheapest way to make an arrangement look expensive — and the most under-ordered product in most shops.
The workhorses
Eucalyptus in its several forms (cinerea, parvifolia, baby blue, nicoli) covers most modern design work. Ruscus and pistache add structure and body. Italian ruscus in particular holds up remarkably well in warm conditions.
- Eucalyptus — silvery tone, scent, soft movement
- Italian ruscus — durable structure, heat tolerant
- Pistache — rich green body for large designs
- Monstera and tropical leaf — bold statement pieces
Greenery and freight economics
Greenery is bulky and light, so it consumes box volume. Ordering it alongside high-value flowers keeps your freight efficiency sensible, and it is usually worth dedicating part of a box to greenery rather than skipping it entirely.
Handling
Woody stems benefit from a sharp angled cut and a deep drink. Most foliage stores cool and lasts far longer than the flowers it accompanies, which makes it a low-risk item to hold in stock.
Web-Flora supplies florists, wedding and event professionals, hotels and premium retailers in Saudi Arabia with fresh Dutch flowers. Minimum order is 2 boxes (around €600), shipments leave the Netherlands weekly, and Ahmed Frindi is your direct personal contact.
