Florist-grade flowering stems and culinary herb bunches are different products. Specify cut length, leaf or flower stage, and usable bunch yield before comparing prices.

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERCan you confirm narrowleaf mountain mint and show its flower stage, cut length, and foliage condition?

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.

Botanical facts are drawn from Pycnanthemum tenuifolium — NC State Extension Plant Toolbox (reference checked September 23, 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.
