05 / BUY WITH A CLEAR SPEC

Before you order
israeli ruscus.

A foliage bunch may be sold by weight, stem count, or an informal grade. Convert the invoice unit to the usable stems in your recipe and record the assumption.

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERWhat stem length and number of usable leafy sections are included?

Put these details on the order

  • Wedding date and delivery window
  • Exact variety, commercial form, and color
  • Usable stem length and head or branch grade
  • Stems per bunch, price per bunch, and minimum order
  • Conditioning, storage, and expected opening stage
  • A client-approved substitution and a revised recipe

For fresh cut material, use clean containers and follow the supplier’s conditioning instructions. Keep foliage out of the vase water and test the finished sample before committing to a long display. Dried and preserved products need their own handling plan.

About this guide

Stemwork’s design notes and pairing suggestions are editorial starting points for a florist’s own sample recipe. Botanical facts are drawn from Ruscus hypophyllum — GBIF backbone taxonomy (reference checked September 21, 2026). General preparation and design principles reference University of Minnesota Extension. Garden bloom seasons describe a plant in the reference’s growing context, not global wholesale availability. Images show botanical references and may depict a different cultivar or commercial stage. Stemwork does not publish live supplier inventory, wholesale prices, or guaranteed vase-life claims.
