Care Guide: How to Condition Cut Tweedia

Tweedia belongs to the milkweed family and exudes a milky latex sap when cut. Proper care is essential.

Hydrate Immediately

Upon arrival, place stems in fresh, clean water with flower food.

Manage the Sap

Re-cutting the stems will cause the milky sap to flow again; immediately place them in warm water.

Keep Cool

Store in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and ripening fruit.

Wait for the Stars:

Tweedia blooms open progressively, giving you a long-lasting display that evolves over days.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Tweedia in season in NZ?

​Our peak season runs from late September (Spring) through to late May (Autumn). We utilize climate-controlled glasshouses to extend the shoulder seasons whenever possible.

​

Does Tweedia last well out of water?

Tweedia is relatively hardy but does best in water. For buttonholes or bouquets, ensure the stems are well-hydrated beforehand. Sealing the cut end helps retain moisture.

​

Can I buy Tweedia directly from the public?

We are primarily a grower supplying wholesalers and markets. However, please contact us for bulk event enquiries or to find a stockist near you.

Why Flower Fusion is NZ’s Leading Tweedia Supplier

At Flower Fusion, we specialize in growing high-grade Tweedia (Oxypetalum coeruleum). Known for its rare sky-blue pigment and velvety star-shaped petals, Tweedia is the ultimate "something blue" for New Zealand weddings. As commercial growers with decades of experience, we produce stems with superior strength, vibrant color, and extended vase life that you won't find at a general market.

Farm-to-Wholesaler Direct:

Located in the fertile soils of Karaka, Auckland, we harvest daily. Your flowers don't sit in a cool store for a week; they go from our greenhouse to your door.

Designer Grade Stems:

We pinch our plants early in the growth cycle to encourage multiple branching and thicker, sturdier stems that can actually support the weight of the flower clusters.

Sustainable Growing:

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to reduce chemical use, protecting the bees that love our Tweedia just as much as we do.
