Bear/Steppen Grass
Bear/Steppen Grass (Tetraria secans) is a fine-textured, grass-like foliage with upright, linear blades in deep green. Durable, long-lasting, and consistently graded, it provides movement and structure in bouquet lines and mass-market floral programmes.
Tetraria secans, widely known as Bear Grass or Steppen Grass, is a native South African sedge that has become a staple foliage product in the international cut-flower trade. Its sleek, ribbon-like leaves add height, texture, and volume to floral designs. Locally grown in the Western Cape, it is particularly valued by wholesalers and large retailers for its versatility. This product is ideal for large-scale bouquet production, straight-line bunches, mass-market floral ranges, and promotional campaigns requiring durable filler foliage.
