➜ Agonis can comfortably remain dry-packed in the cooler overnight before processing, but prefers prompt conditioning to prevent drying out

➜ Refresh the stem ends and hydrate for 3–4 hours before designing, allowing the woody stems and foliage to become fully conditioned

➜ Remove only the foliage that will sit below the water line, preserving the naturally layered branching that gives agonis its signature appearance

➜ Let the stems sweep naturally through the design rather than trimming them into shorter, rigid pieces—their graceful movement is what makes them so valuable

➜ Agonis is beautiful in hand-tied bridal bouquets, elevated vase arrangements, ceremony florals, large reception centerpieces, and contemporary garden-inspired designs where flowing greenery helps create an organic silhouette
