poppies from italy
Inleiding blog - Papavers uit Italië

The silky petals of the Italian poppy, in shades of red, pink, and orange, immediately catch the eye. These flowers, grown on mountain nurseries in sun-soaked Southern Europe, radiate with the fresh Mediterranean air as their secret to vibrant beauty. At Greenflor, the flower wholesaler for exclusive blooms, we offer these extraordinary poppies to florists, garden centers, and wholesalers. Our flower selection includes both bulk flowers and exclusive products that you won't find anywhere else.

exclusive poppy nurseries

Our flower buyer and sourcing expert Marc van Graas takes you to an idyllic poppy nursery in the hills of San Remo. Here, each poppy is hand-picked, and the beautiful flowers benefit from the perfect conditions of this sunny climate. As Marc drives along the mountain roads, the picturesque view unfolds with brightly colored poppies shimmering against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. These flowers are a tribute to the power of nature and the craftsmanship of Italian grower Steffano.

craftsmanship and innovation

What makes Steffano’s half-million poppy stems so special? It’s the combination of artisanal care and modern techniques. Although the flowers are grown and harvested in the traditional way, they are delivered ready for sale using clever methods. Greenflor’s collaboration with this innovative grower results in a product that is immediately available to florists and garden centers across Europe. For anyone looking to buy flowers for business, this dried flower wholesaler offers a unique product.

tips for long-lasting beauty

The processing room at the nursery buzzes with activity. Five women trim the poppies to size and briefly dip the ends of the stems in boiling water. "By sealing the stems, the flowers stay fresh longer," Marc explains. This technique helps the flowers retain moisture and shine longer in bouquets. Each bunch of poppies is stylishly packaged, with care tips and a QR code linking to videos that guide customers on how to care for these exclusive flowers.

care instructions for poppies

Poppies are delicate flowers that require special care. Here are some tips to make them flourish: 

  1. Carefully remove the poppy from the packaging. Do not cut off the dark ends, as they help the flower retain moisture. 

  2. Gently peel off the green outer layer. The petals may look shriveled at first, but they will naturally unfold. 

  3. Place the poppy in a clean vase with flower food and enjoy their color and beauty!
