Mystic Flowers continues to move forward with a clear direction towards growth through diversification. Already recognized for its range of roses, Gypsophila, and summer flowers, the farm has now taken an important step by incorporating lilies into its collections. This evolution positions them as one of the few farms in Ecuador capable of delivering such a complete and versatile portfolio.
Mystic Flowers - A Portfolio in Constant Growth
For years, Mystic has been associated with a strong and consistent lineup of roses. The farm has also built a reputation for producing high-quality Gypsophila and summer flowers, creating a portfolio that gives designers, wholesalers, and global buyers reliable options. By continuing to expand beyond its original crops, the Ecuadorian company shows a willingness to respond to changing market demands while strengthening its international presence.
Why Lilies Mark a New Stage for the Ecuadorian Grower
The decision to produce lilies represents more than just the addition of another flower to its portfolio. It's a shift where they are positioning themselves to offer complete solutions for customers looking for variety, volume, and innovation. Lilies add dimension to the collection, uniqueness, and give buyers access to flowers that complement roses and gypsophila, creating combinations that work across different markets and seasons. Mikey Putnam, who visited their farms a couple of months ago, shared about the Butterfly lily:
"It's really nice when lilies are a little bit smaller. I think they're more usable in more everyday applications. I would use it in centerpieces or bouquets. I really like the size of it. And I think people are looking for stuff that's not so cumbersome and has a little more airiness to it."
It's the voice of innovative florists who say it!
The foundation of their reputation remains its roses. Alongside them, the farm has invested in seasonal crops that provide texture and variety. Now, the inclusion of lilies expands this vision, allowing them to cover an even wider spectrum. This positions the company not just as a grower, but as a source of options for different styles of design and production requirements.
Introducing OT, LA, and Pollen-Free Lilies
Among the highlights of the new expansion is the introduction of OT, LA, and pollen-free lilies such as the Butterfly lilies in yellow, orange, and white colors, as well as roselilies. These categories open up new possibilities for customers. OT lilies are known for their strength and impressive presence. LA lilies combine color diversity with durability. And the new pollen-free varieties represent the next generation of lilies—cleaner, more versatile, and ideal for settings where pollen might otherwise be a challenge.
With this move, Mystic responds directly to what international buyers are asking for: modern varieties that perform well both in logistics and in design.
Roselilies That Say Ooh-La-La
Roselilies have quickly become one of the most exciting introductions in the global flower market. Unlike traditional lilies, these varieties open with multiple layers of petals, creating a fuller and more refined appearance without producing pollen. This makes them especially appealing for both florists and consumers who want long-lasting flowers that stay clean in arrangements.
Several breeders have been behind the development of roselilies, including Zabo Plant, each contributing unique traits to expand the diversity within this category. Their arrival has added a fresh and distinctive option for growers, wholesalers, and designers looking for something new to offer clients.
Why Ecuador Is an Unexpected Yet Ideal Place to Grow Lilies
Lilies begin with bulbs that can only develop in countries with four distinct seasons, like the Netherlands and Chile. What many don’t know is that these bulbs can then be brought to Ecuador, where the unique growing conditions allow them to flourish year-round. So why grow lilies in Ecuador?
Ecuador offers ideal conditions for growing lilies, with 12 hours of daylight year-round, cool nights, and mild days in the Andean highlands that support strong growth. The altitude and light produce sturdy stems, large flower heads, and long vase life—traits valued in global markets. Unlike seasonal production elsewhere, Ecuador supplies lilies year-round, supported by its advanced export infrastructure built around the rose industry. Flowers reach the U.S., Europe, and Asia, ensuring freshness. Beyond roses, lilies give growers a way to diversify and respond to international demand, as these flowers remain essential for weddings, funerals, religious traditions, and décor across cultures.
How Mystic Flowers Stays Ahead in Ecuador’s Floral Scene
Ecuador’s flower industry is competitive and globally respected. For the company, staying relevant means continually adjusting to trends and anticipating what customers will need. The addition of lilies to the portfolio is a clear example of this strategy. By being among the few Ecuadorian farms to produce a full range of lily varieties, they assure their role as a forward-looking grower with the ability to deliver more than the market expects.
Growth at Mystic Flowers does not only mean adding varieties, but also integrating sustainability and efficient practices into production. Investing in pollen-free lilies means they can deliver lilies that stay clean and are allergy-free, improving usability for buyers.
Providers for the Global Demand for Lilies
Demand for lilies continues to grow worldwide, with buyers seeking reliable sources that combine quality, variety, and volume. The Ecuadorian grower is well-positioned to respond to this demand by offering OT, LA, and pollen-free lilies that complement its established flowers. With this, the farm is not only adding new flowers to its fields but also reinforcing its status as a grower capable of anticipating what the floral market requires today.
