Electric‑blue Belladonna Delphinium with tall, elegant spikes and semi‑double blooms. Strong stems, vivid color. 140‑stem, 80cm bulk box.
Delphinium Volkenfrieden – 80cm (140 Stems) delivers one of the most vivid, saturated blues available in the Belladonna group — a signature electric‑blue tone noted across horticultural and floral trade sources. This variety produces compact spires of semi‑double blooms, often with a subtle purple eye, creating a dramatic, high‑impact vertical line.
As a Belladonna‑type Delphinium, Volkenfrieden is characterized by:
-
Highly branched inflorescences, with side spikes nearly as important as the main spike, giving a fuller, more floriferous appearance
-
Semi‑double electric‑blue flowers with exceptional color clarity
-
Reliable performance and strong stems suitable for commercial cut‑flower production
-
Excellent vase life when properly hydrated and STS‑treated, as recommended for Belladonna types
At 80cm, these stems offer ideal height for ceremony structures, aisle décor, large centerpieces, and editorial‑style installations. The 140‑stem bulk box provides ample volume for event designers who need consistent color, height, and texture across multiple arrangements.
Volkenfrieden’s electric blue blends beautifully with whites, creams, blush, lavender, and garden‑style greens — making it a standout choice for weddings, luxury events, and any design requiring a bold, refined vertical line.
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.
-
Use Clean Containers
- Sanitize buckets or vases before use.
- Fill with fresh, lukewarm water and add floral preservative (contains sugar, acidifier, and biocide).
Conditioning and Storage

Hydration Period

-
Temperature Control
- Store at 34–38°F (1–3°C) for most flowers.
- Avoid storing near fruits (especially apples) which emit ethylene gas that can age flowers prematurely.
-
Humidity
- Maintain high humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration.
Ongoing Care
-
Daily Maintenance
- Change water every 1–2 days.
- Recut stems every few days to improve water uptake.
