❤️ LA Royal Lilies in Red offer a bold, romantic statement for florists seeking drama and elegance in bulk. These hybrid lilies are fragrance-free, making them ideal for scent-sensitive environments while still delivering vibrant color and commanding presence.
Here’s what to expect from an 80-stem wholesale pack:
- Stem Count & Packing: Typically packed in 8 bunches of 10 stems, each stem bearing 2–4 blooms. Stems reach approximately 30–34 inches in height.
- Bloom Form: Upright, trumpet-shaped flowers with smooth petals and a saturated red hue—perfect for focal placement in arrangements.
- Design Applications: Excellent for romantic installations, holiday centerpieces, or editorial bouquets. Their bold color pairs beautifully with blush roses, burgundy foliage, or gold accents.
- Longevity: LA hybrids are known for their durability and long vase life, often lasting 7–10 days with proper care.
These lilies are grown in South America and ship with protective sleeves to preserve bloom integrity. Would you like pairing suggestions or a mood board concept to showcase these in a seasonal or event-specific palette?
