WAX & MATTHIOLA

About

Characteristics

Wax Flower, known for its small, delicate blooms and woody stems, is a favorite filler for adding texture and a natural, rustic charm to floral arrangements. The tiny blooms have a waxy surface, giving them their name, and their light fragrance makes them a popular choice. Wax Flower symbolizes lasting love and success, often used in weddings and romantic designs.

Care

Preparation: Cut stems at an angle and remove leaves below the waterline.
Watering: Change water every 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
Storage: Store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.
Tips: Wax Flower is hardy and long-lasting, especially if stems are kept in fresh, clean water. Avoid crushing the stems, as this can limit water intake.

White: A classic, elegant color often used in wedding arrangements.
