Viburnum

Fresh cut viburnum is available from March to May, with peak quality in early May. It’s harvested primarily in the Netherlands, France, and Italy, and is considered a premium product during the spring season. Due to its relatively short availability, it’s a flower that designers look forward to each year — a true celebration of spring’s arrival.

• Recut stems at a 45° angle before placing in clean, lukewarm water.
• Use floral preservative to extend vase life.
• Viburnum can be sensitive to temperature changes — keep it cool and avoid direct sunlight.
• Change water daily and remove any leaves below the waterline to prevent bacteria buildup.

Viburnum is more than a filler – it’s a statement of elegance and natural beauty. Its airy, organic form is ideal for creating loose, romantic arrangements in a garden or English countryside style. It pairs effortlessly with luxurious blooms like peonies, ranunculus, garden roses, and sweet peas. 

In Eastern European traditions, viburnum is deeply symbolic — representing love, heritage, and the cycles of life. It has been immortalized in folk songs, embroidery, and wedding traditions. For today’s florists, it serves not just as a botanical material but as a source of emotion and storytelling in design.

Whether you’re building a bridal bouquet that whispers romance or crafting an ethereal tablescape, viburnum brings a breath of spring air to your work — fresh, fleeting, and unforgettable.
