Why Choose Lepidium?
Unlike traditional fillers, offers a clean, contemporary look that elevates any design.
-
Unique Texture: The dense clusters of green "beads" (seed pods) add depth without distracting from focal blooms.
-
Exceptional Vase Life: One of the hardiest cut foliages available, lasting 10+ days in the vase.
-
Versatile Mechanics: The strong, woody stems make it an excellent natural armature (framework) for arranging softer flowers.
-
No Mess: Unlike some fillers that shed, Lepidium holds its berries well, keeping your workspace and venues clean.

Ideal Design Applications
Our florists and wholesale clients love using Lepidium for:
-
Wedding Work: Adds "air" and movement to bridal bouquets without the bulk of traditional greenery.
-
Corporate Arrangements: Its long-lasting nature makes it perfect for weekly office reception flowers.
-
Dried Florals: Lepidium dries beautifully! It retains its structure and turns a lovely golden-straw colour, extending its value beyond fresh use.
-
Pro Tip: Pair Lepidium with our Sweet Peas or Delphiniums for a stunning "English Garden" meadow look.

Care Guide: Maximizing Vase Life
To get the most out of your wholesale Lepidium:
-
Cut & Plunge: Recut stems at a 45-degree angle and place immediately in fresh water with flower food.
-
Remove Lower Foliage: Strip any leaves that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
-
Hydrate: Allow stems to have a "big drink" for at least 4 hours before arranging.
-
Drying: To dry, simply hang upside down in a warm, dark, airy spot for 2-3 weeks.
