Buy Ethiopia Limonium Directly From Exporters & Suppliers - Best of 2024 Market Prices

Throughout the world, limoniums are popular because of their good looking botany. For instance, after the wilting of the main blossom, the bright-colored calyx still remains put, which is why gardeners call it the ‘everlasting flower.’ In fact, its naming in Greek is associated with gardening.

We source our limonium from the central highlands and southern Rift Valley of Ethiopia. The central parts mainly grow the statice (Limonium sinuatum L) form. The farms contain at least three varieties. Amazon Bird is common during October through November, while Giant Blue Bird comes between December and January. Yellow Sun Bird grows through February and March. This distribution ensures that there is fresh supply throughout the growth period.

We harvest the Ethiopia limonium differently from either roses or carnations. We let the buds to be completely open. However, this is just the external petal and covering purple flower. The real beautiful interior buds, common as senesce, are usually yet to open in their full white brilliance.

After cutting the flowers to the desired lengths in the field, we then sort, grade and bunch them. In the sorting process, our experienced workers usually remove the ones that have yellowed from wilting and over-maturity. These can be both stems and petals. We also check the clusters of bunches carefully for any sign of fungal infection which might spread to the rest. We then bunch the longest sizes and smallest sizes. We also go for the bunching standard of keeping 25 stems per bunch.

We pack Ethiopia limonium in horizontal fiberboards. The low-lying boxes usually have ample openings for air circulation, which these blossoms usually need. We keep each bunch in its custom plastic wrappings a few inches from the others to provide proper air circulation, on board.

During storage, we maintain the cool climate-loving limoniums in base temperatures of 0 to 1° Celsius. The cold room environment also helps keep the flowers as if they were already packed for shipping because of the polyurethane interior clad cartons that we cool them in.

We transport Ethiopia limonium in refrigerated vehicles from the farm to the storage room and then en-route to the Bola International Airport. You can receive the delivery on the same day of the harvest if you are in the Middle-east or one to two days in other parts of the globe. Upon receiving the shipment, it is necessary to remove the flowers from the cartons and rearrange them in a well-circulated area for ventilation purposes. They can store unspoiled for 14 days under dry but freezing conditions.
