From Kenya to Your Flower Shop: Discover Marginpar Flowers

Kenya is well known for its beautiful flowers, but there is much more to discover than roses. From delicate Clematis to striking Eryngium and airy Astrantia, Kenyan flowers offer florists a wide range of shapes, colours and textures to work with. Through Kenya Direct, Hoek flowers works with growers in Kenya to bring fresh, specialty cut flowers closer to florists. One of the growers we work with is Marginpar, known for its distinctive summer flowers and wide selection of varieties. So, what makes Marginpar flowers from Kenya interesting for your flower shop? Let’s take a closer look.

What makes Kenyan flowers special?

Kenya has a strong reputation for growing high-quality cut flowers. Its climate and growing conditions are well suited to a wide range of flower varieties, making it an important growing region for the international flower industry.

For florists, Kenyan flowers offer a wide selection of shapes, colours and textures, with many varieties known for their good vase life. They can be used in bouquets, arrangements and other floral designs.

But Kenya is not only known for its well-established flower industry. The country is also home to growers specialising in flowers that bring something different to a floral design.

This is where specialty cut flowers come in.

Marginpar: growing unique summer flowers

Marginpar is known for growing specialty flowers that bring movement, texture and character to floral work. Their range includes flowers in different shapes and sizes, giving florists plenty of options to create something a little different. Some Marginpar varieties you may find through Kenya Direct include:

• Clematis – delicate flowers with an elegant, natural look
• Eryngium – a distinctive flower with a strong shape and texture
• Astrantia – small, delicate flowers that add detail to arrangements
• Delphinium – tall stems that bring height and movement
• Craspedia – round, playful flower heads
• Aster – a versatile flower with a light, natural appearance
• Limonium – useful for adding texture and volume
• Scabiosa – a favourite for its distinctive shape and soft appearance

These specialty flowers can work well as focal points, fillers or finishing touches, depending on the variety and your design. They can also add interesting shapes, textures and movement to seasonal arrangements, making them a versatile choice for florists throughout the year.

Why direct sourcing matters for florists

A direct connection with growers can make a difference throughout the flower supply chain. Working closer to the source gives us better insight into what is being grown, what is available and which varieties are coming through. It also allows us to offer florists access to flowers that might not always be part of a standard range. For a florist, that means more choice when planning your weekly flower purchases and creating arrangements for customers. And when you are looking for something a little different, specialty flowers can be a great way to add character to your work.
