In recent seasons, TAK Global Guatemala has sharpened its focus on a new botanical star: dark-green Viburnum foliage. With large-scale production ramping up since its introduction, this version of Viburnum stands out for its dense, even coverage that holds its form for weeks. While many consumers recognize Viburnum by sight, few fully appreciate the scale of its potential both in design settings and global supply chains—yet the Guatemalan company is changing that, positioning it as a core foliage choice across markets.
TAK Global’s Viburnum - The Green Foliage That Fills Without Fuss
In the floral industry, certain greens are immediately recognized—eucalyptus, ruscus, leather leaf. But quietly emerging in Guatemala’s fields is a different kind of foliage: Viburnum, a dark-green, voluminous plant with a structure that does the job of filler without looking like one. It’s a green type of foliage that has been steadily developed in recent years, and now—with large-scale production in full swing—it’s ready for the spotlight. The product works with form, shape, and presence, but mostly, holds things together.
It Doesn’t Have a 'Good Side'—It Has All Sides
One of the most distinct visual qualities of their Viburnum is its shape. If you look at it head-on, it presents a symmetrical mass. But turn it around and you’ll see that it has no single face—it’s full from every angle. That’s rare in foliage, and incredibly useful. Whether it’s placed in a vase, used in a foam structure, or added to large installations, this green fills space in a consistent and complete way. It doesn’t need to be rotated to look good. This quality gives designers more flexibility in how arrangements are built, especially when viewed from multiple directions, like centerpieces, arches, or stage florals.
One of the most impressive aspects of this green product is how well it holds up. While some greens wilt after just a few days or require constant misting, this variety keeps its structure and color for up to 3–4 weeks. That’s not just convenient—it’s strategic. It means fewer replacements, better planning, and more breathing room in production schedules. Catch it being shipped internationally or sitting in a studio cooler, it stays stable. For floral businesses working with tight logistics or high client expectations, that makes a difference.
A Quiet Favorite Gaining Ground
While Viburnum isn’t new to the world of horticulture, TAK’s cultivation of it as a foliage crop for floristry is still fairly fresh. It’s already making its way into the hands of designers in Latin America and Europe, where it’s valued for its volume, shape, and longevity. The plant is increasingly showing up in events, installations, and storefronts—not as the star of the show, but as the element that makes everything else feel more complete. It fills gaps without making the composition feel heavy, which is why more florists are starting to ask for it by name.
The growing process is also supported by cold-chain logistics, which preserve the foliage’s freshness from the field to shipment. With Guatemala’s ideal climate and the company's scale of operation, it’s now possible to supply this product internationally with consistency and confidence.
Viburnum answers a growing need: dependable greens that can hold up across time zones, transport routes, and styling sessions.
