Trachelium, commonly known as throatwort, is a perennial plant prized for its clusters of tiny, delicate flowers forming large, dome-shaped inflorescences. Available in shades of purple, blue, white, and lavender, trachelium adds texture and volume to floral arrangements and garden borders. It is often used as a filler flower by florists due to its airy appearance and long vase life.
Trachelium includes:
Trachelium caeruleum: The most commonly grown species, known for its dense clusters of tiny flowers and lush foliage.
Climate: Prefers mild climates. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10. Often grown as an annual in cooler regions.
Soil: Requires well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
Watering needs: Needs consistent moisture. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated.
Fresh and dried use: Highly valued as a filler flower in fresh arrangements. Its long vase life and delicate texture enhance bouquets.
Market appeal: Adds volume and elegance to arrangements. Its unique texture is popular among florists.
Cultivation: Relatively easy to grow with proper care.
Post-harvest care: Cut when flowers are fully developed. Place in water immediately and keep cool.
Regional considerations: Best suited to mild climates. In colder regions, grow as an annual or in containers that can be moved indoors.
