Viburnum (Viburnum opulus) is prized for its broad, glossy leaves and sturdy woody stems, which add fullness and structure to large-scale floral designs. Grown locally in South Africa for the export trade, it is widely used as a foliage filler in mass-market retail lines, bouquet programmes, and straight-line bunches. Its fresh green colour provides a clean, uniform backdrop that complements both bright and pastel floral combinations.

Quality & Handling

• Harvested to international post-harvest standards and cooled rapidly to preserve colour and freshness.
• Maintained in a continuous cold-chain to ensure quality during export.
• Stems are graded for uniform length and leaf density to provide consistency across bulk consignments.
• Expected vase life is 12–16 days with proper care.
• Re-cut stems diagonally on arrival, hydrate promptly in clean water, and refresh every 2–3 days.
• Woody stems benefit from lightly splitting or crushing the base to improve water uptake.
