Preserved Ruscus FAQs

What is Ruscus?

Ruscus is an evergreen foliage plant known for its slim, pointed leaves and strong stems. In floristry, ruscus foliage is used as a structural filler, adding height, depth, and clean lines to bouquets, arrangements, and installations.

Where does Ruscus grow?

Ruscus species are native to parts of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. They’re often found in woodlands and shaded areas. For floral use, stems are grown commercially and supplied fresh, dried, or preserved to florists around the world.

Where can I buy Ruscus?

Ruscus is available through specialist floristry suppliers. Atlas Flowers offers preserved ruscus foliage wholesale in a range of styles, including soft ruscus, preserved Italian ruscus, and bleached white ruscus, with no minimum order and quick UK delivery.

How long does Ruscus last?

Fresh ruscus typically lasts one to two weeks in water, depending on temperature and care. Preserved ruscus can last from one to three years or more when kept dry and away from direct sunlight, making it ideal for long-term displays and installations.

How do you dry Italian Ruscus?

Italian Ruscus can be air-dried by hanging small bunches upside down in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space until the leaves and stems are fully dehydrated. Because results can vary in colour and texture, many florists prefer to source ready-preserved Italian ruscus for consistent quality and longer-lasting foliage.
