Add a rare, star-shaped elegance to your floral designs with our Wholesale Tweedia White. This professional bulk box contains 80 stems, each standing at 45cm tall. Unlike the common blue variety, White Tweedia offers a crisp, clean aesthetic with the same signature felted foliage and delicate five-petaled blooms. Shipped via our Holland Direct program, these stems ensure maximum freshness and premium quality. It is an exquisite choice for high-end bridal bouquets, delicate centerpieces, and sophisticated garden-style arrangements.
Premium Holland-Grown Texture for Boutique Floral Design Tweedia White (Oxypetalum) is a designer favorite for its unique "velvety" texture and soft, romantic appearance. Its petite blooms provide a beautiful contrast to larger focal flowers like Peonies or Garden Roses.

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.

Temperature Control

-
Humidity

Ongoing Care

Daily Maintenance
