-
Soft, fluffy assorted Acacia with natural texture and movement. Designer‑ready greenery for weddings, events, and daily floral work.
- Growers assortment: This is not a single variety of acacia, but a mix chosen by the grower based on what is in season and harvesting well. You can expect a mix of acacia types, such as Fernleaf, Knifeblade, or Feather, offering a variety of leaf textures and shades of green or purple.
- Growers bunch: The term "growers bunch" means the bunch is packaged by weight or volume, not a precise stem count. This is a more cost-effective way to buy foliage, but the stem count will vary—the approximate "10 stems per bunch" should be seen as a guideline, not a guarantee.
- Grown in California: This specifies the origin, which is an important quality and marketing factor. California-grown products are associated with freshness and often a smaller carbon footprint than imported goods.
- Good value with varied quality: Growers bunches are valued for their affordability but may include some stems that are not in perfect condition. Expect to spend time processing the bunch, as the grower likely did not remove foliage below the water line.
- Excellent texture and movement: Acacia, with its fine, delicate, and often wispy leaves, is an excellent filler and foliage choice for adding texture and movement to arrangements.
- Versatile for various styles: The assortment allows for a range of uses, from creating a natural, rustic vibe to adding soft texture in modern, elegant designs.
- Filler and textural element: Use the foliage to cover mechanics in large arrangements, fill out bouquets, and add depth to centerpieces.
- Processing is essential: Upon arrival, you must remove all foliage below the waterline and re-cut stems to prevent bacterial growth and ensure proper hydratio
Taking care of flowers purchased in bulk is essential to maintain their freshness and extend their vase life, especially if you're using them for resale, events, or arrangements. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you process and care for bulk flowers:
Initial Processing Upon Arrival
-
Unpack Immediately
- Remove flowers from boxes carefully to avoid damage.
- Keep them in a cool, shaded area during unpacking.
-
Inspect and Sort
- Check for damaged or wilted stems and remove them.
- Sort by type and stem length if needed.
-
Hydration Prep
- Remove any foliage that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
- Recut stems at a 45° angle under running water or submerged in water to prevent air bubbles.

-
Humidity
- Maintain high humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration.
Ongoing Care

Daily Maintenance
