Ruscus in Jeddah: Elegant Greenery for Long-Lasting Bouquets
Ruscus is a genus of evergreen shrubs from the asparagus family (Asparagaceae), native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. In floristry, the most popular type is Italian ruscus (Ruscus hypophyllum), with arching stems lined with glossy, deep green, leaf-like cladodes. What look like leaves are actually flattened stems, which is one reason ruscus is so durable. At Blumen in Jeddah, ruscus is the finishing greenery that gives our bouquets their graceful, polished shape.

Why Ruscus Belongs in Every Bouquet
Ruscus adds lines, movement and a rich green backdrop that makes flower colors stand out. Its gentle arch softens the outline of a bouquet and helps frame roses, lilies and orchids. Florists rely on it for both classic and custom flower arrangements.
Ruscus in Wedding and Event Design
Thanks to its flexibility and long life, ruscus is widely used in bridal bouquets, table garlands, arches and event décor across Saudi Arabia. It holds its color and shape for hours without water, making it perfect for long celebrations and Jeddah's warm weather.
One of the Longest-Lasting Greens
Ruscus can stay fresh for two to three weeks in water, often outlasting the flowers it accompanies. Simply recut the stems and keep the water clean.
