Flowers That Are Wholesale to the Public

If you want to give a gift of flowers -- or make your own bouquets for your wedding -- then purchasing flowers from a wholesale florist may be the way to go. Wholesale flower pricing can be significantly less expensive than buying flowers directly from a florist or grocery store. Wholesale pricing also is negotiable because you are buying all those stems in bulk. You can buy a wide variety of flowers at wholesale prices.
  1. Roses

    • Roses in a variety of colors -- from red to pink to rainbow to blue -- are available from online wholesale flower distributors. Make sure you have researched the roses you would like to use in your bouquet or floral arrangement. Some roses do not last as long as others. Your wholesale price also will be affected by where the rose is grown and must be shipped from. Consider these factors before you purchase roses at wholesale prices.

    Greenhouse Flowers and Plants

    • Check with your local greenhouse growers to see what wholesale plants and flowers they offer. Some examples of wholesale plants and flowers available to the public are alyssum, poinsettias, lilies and zinnias. You may be able to work out a deal with your greenhouse grower to get potted plants or flowers, such as hanging baskets of flowers, at a wholesale price if you buy a certain quantity.

    Wholesale Silk Flowers

    • Select just about any type of silk or artificial flower you would like from an online artificial wholesale "grower." Artificial flowers can be expensive when you buy them per stem from a craft store. Cut down on costs for your grave site floral arrangement, or filler flowers for fresh table-top arrangements, by purchasing silk flowers that look real from a distance. Consider baby's breath, wildflowers and small flowers that do not beckon close inspection.
