ASK YOUR SUPPLIERWhich Rudbeckia–Echinacea hybrid selection can you supply, and can you confirm its actual color pattern, flower diameter, usable stem length, and maturity?

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.
