Asclepias is an exclusive crop that requires a lot of skill from the grower. But the results are worth it. Surprise your customers with the different varieties, such as Asclepias tuberosa (American silk plant) and Asclepias incarnata (Red silk plant). The flowers stand out with their receding petals.
Asclepias physocarpa is an outlier; this variety is grown for its bright green fruits. These are beautiful in rich late summer bouquets, but also solo in the vase. A special flower like Asclepias offers plenty of starting points for storytelling.
Tell your customers about the name and origin, for example. Asclepias is named after Aesculapius, the god of medicine, because of its medicinal properties. Asclepias originates from America. Some species also grow naturally in Africa. A delicate little flower with special shades of colour.
There are several techniques you can apply to the Asclepias. Think of making arrangements, a bouquet, a mono-bouquet or drying.
The '365 days of flowers' campaign is an initiative of the promotion committee 365 days of flowers, part of Royal FloraHolland. Over 1,800 growers from 15 different countries make this possible. They grow over 150 different flowers, which are promoted throughout the year based on Royal FloraHolland's availability dates. The objective of the '365 days of flowers' campaign is to jointly develop sales opportunities for florists.
