Trachelium, also known as throatwort, is a fantastic cut flower that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Its beautiful flower umbels in a variety of colours, not only offer an elegant look to bouquets, but it also has an excellent vase life, making it a favorite with flower arrangers and consumers. Explore the challenges, be guided by Evanthia and embrace the possibilities of Trachelium. Be sure to include this versatile flower in your assortment this coming season!
Growing Trachelium
If you are considering starting to grow Trachelium, keep in mind some basic growing principles. In addition to a strong need for good air circulation, adequate drainage and moderate climatic conditions, Trachelium is a true long-day plant. Day length plays a crucial role in the flowering cycle. Proper timing of sowing or planting young planting material is also important to take full advantage of longer days during their flowering phase.
Selecting the right varieties can help here.
Evanthia's Trachelium series
The varieties of Evanthia each have their own specific qualities and combined they offer potential for a rock-solid year-round program in milder climates:
- Trachelium Corine series brings uniformity and has good branching and rapid bud formation. Corine can be produced almost year-round. Whereas other varieties sometimes have difficulty with forming buds in darker, cooler periods, this is precisely something Corine scores well on.
- The Trachelium Early Supreme and Supreme series offer beautiful colours and uniform stems with a large central flower cluster surrounded by smaller umbels from the side branches. Where other series in the market may have difficulty reaching sufficient length in the summer period, this is something Supreme excels at.
Request Evanthia’s Trachelium Cultivation Manual for more detailed information. If you are already familiar with cultivation and would like to talk about the possibilities with our Trachelium series, please be sure to contact our team for tailored advice.

With Trachelium, you add texture, extra volume and depth to bouquets and floral arrangements. The thousands of tiny flowers combine to form soft, lacy cushions that are perfect for providing contrast against large, dramatic flowers such as roses, peonies or orchids. It is a fantastic booster flower that gives arrangements a romantic, airy look. Its long stems and rich flowering also make it an excellent choice for impressive, tall floral arrangements.
Whether for a summer wedding or an cosy autumn arrangement, Trachelium has it all. Its vibrant purple, rose, blue, and white hues fit perfectly into both bright and subdued colour palettes. Combine it with fresh greens for a spring-like effect or use it in combination with warm, rich colours for autumnal floral arrangements.
