KNOW THE PLANT YOU ARE ORDERING

Choose the plant and the cutting grade.

Longfield Gardens describes this selection in its growing catalog. Its listing is for planting stock, not a live cut-stem offer. Confirm that a grower can supply the named variety as cut material for your event date. Ask a grower for the exact cultivar, an available cutting grade, and a sample before making it part of a client proposal.

The reference covers a named cultivar. Keep that identity with the recipe. A similar common name or another member of the same genus can differ in flower form, color, and usable stem length.

Explore Hippeastrum species in the botanical directory . The directory covers species; named garden cultivars are described in these florist guides.
