The story of
Galax (or Urceolata) is also called the wall plant, or beetle herb.
The leaf forms a rosette and has a serrated edge and is matt-gloss dark green in color. In winter, near Christmas, it turns into reddish-brown. The plant retains its leaves in winter and is therefore hardy. The stems grow to about 5 to 10 cm, and in some cases 15 cm. In spring, until summer, the plant produces long white flowers.
Heart shaped leaves
perfect for corsages
Where does Galax grow?
Galax grows in shady places in the forests of the Appalachian Mountains, an area on the border between North and South Carolina, America. The town of Burnsville is the beating heart of the industry.
From field to bouquet
The leaves are harvested in the wild by groups of pickers. The pickers deliver the leaves to suppliers in large bags. Here the product is selected by size. There are two sizes: Regular and Super. Picking is not done between mid-April and mid-June to give new crops the opportunity to grow.

Green Inspiration

The shape of the leaf provides a calming feeling in your arrangement. A lot of florists use these leaves to make corsages for weddings.
