CARE + HANDLING

➜ Salal tips can comfortably remain dry-packed in the cooler for up to 2–3 days before processing, making them easy to work into both everyday orders and large event schedules
➜ When possible, 3–4 hours of hydration helps the foliage regain its natural freshness and flexibility, but this is not necessarily required—salal can be used right out of the box more often than not!
➜ Because the stems are already compact, they're ready to tuck directly into bouquets and centerpieces with very little trimming or pruning
➜ Salal tips are especially useful and hold up well in bouquets, centerpieces, sympathy work, and floral foam

FAQ's

Are salal tips only for bouquets?
➜ Not at all—they're equally useful in centerpieces, sympathy work, basket and vase arrangements, or anywhere a compact greenery is easier or faster to place than a full stem
Do salal tips have the same vase life as leatherleaf?
➜ No—salal tips actually hold up and last far longer than leatherleaf would; leatherleaf has a tendency to dry out rather quickly
When would you choose salal tips over another compact greenery?
➜ Reach for salal tips when you want rich green foliage with a polished, traditional look that complements almost any flower palette without drawing attention away from the blooms
