Italian Ruscus is the premier choice for high-end wedding florists and event designers seeking a delicate, fluid trailing greenery. Characterized by its slender, highly flexible, vine-like stems and small, glossy, teardrop-shaped leaves, it offers unmatched movement and elegance. Because it is incredibly pliable and lacks the bulk of traditional greenery, it is the industry standard for weaving cascading trails into bridal bouquets, wrapping delicate table arches, and designing sleek, modern green installations.
Product Specifications
Color Palette: Features a rich, lustrous deep emerald green with a high-gloss finish that adds a polished, luxury sheen to any arrangement.
Texture & Volume: Offers a sleek, smooth, and airy vine texture. Its individual leaves sit flat against the stem, providing lightweight, trailing movement rather than heavy or bushy volume.
Stem Length: Available in generous, long commercial grades typically ranging from 50cm to 100cm+.
Vase Life: Legendary trade longevity, easily lasting 3 to 4+ weeks in fresh water, and remaining highly resilient out of water for day-of event installations.
Availability: Sourced primarily from Mediterranean and global greenhouse networks for reliable year-round availability.
Florist Care & Handling
Italian Ruscus is exceptionally durable and low-maintenance. Process upon arrival by stripping away any lower leaves that will sit below the water level. Give the slender stems a sharp, clean angled cut with sanitized commercial shears, and place them immediately into clean buckets with fresh water treated with professional foliage or flower preservative. Store in a cool room or flower chiller. Its hardy leaf cuticles make it highly resistant to yellowing, drying out, or wilting.
