Bamboo
Wholesale Bamboo is a decorative foliage and cane product used to add height, structure and a clean natural line to floral designs. Depending on the type supplied, Bamboo may be used as fresh foliage, decorative canes or structural stems for larger arrangements and installations.
Bamboo is especially useful in tropical contemporary and minimalist floristry. Its upright shape and distinctive segmented stems make it popular for event styling, corporate flowers, oriental-inspired designs, large vase arrangements and display work.
