Delicate Lisianthus – Soft & Romantic

Lisianthus bouquet

A lisianthus bouquet brings the soft, ruffled charm of rose-like petals at roughly half the cost. Each lisianthus flower produces three to five blooms per stem, so even a 10-stem arrangement looks full and lush. You get striking volume without overspending — and the blooms hold up well in the UAE's air-conditioned interiors for 10 to 14 days.

Why choose a lisianthus bouquet in the UAE

Lisianthus bouquets suit the UAE lifestyle for several practical reasons. The flower tolerates warm climates better than many European varieties, and growers in the Netherlands and Japan export premium stems year-round. Our florists in Dubai receive fresh stock every 48 hours, which means your bouquet arrives with petals still tightly furled and ready to open over several days.

Price matters too. A single-variety lisianthus bouquet starts at around 150 AED, while a mixed arrangement with roses or hydrangeas typically ranges from 250 to 450 AED. Compare that to a pure garden-rose bouquet at 400+ AED, and the savings become clear.

Lisianthus flower varieties you can order

The lisianthus flower comes in over 20 cultivated colour groups. Here are the most popular options our customers in the UAE request:

White and green tones sell especially well during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Purple varieties peak around UAE National Day on 2 December.

How to pick the right lisianthus bouquet

Choosing a lisianthus bouquet becomes easy once you narrow down three factors: occasion, size, and colour palette.

Match the occasion

Wedding centrepieces work best with 20+ stems in white or blush pink.

Birthday gifts shine with a 10-stem mix of purple and peach tones.

Sympathy tributes call for a monochrome white arrangement of 15 stems.

Eid gifts look elegant with white lisianthus paired with green foliage.

Consider the stem count

Each lisianthus stem carries multiple blooms, so a 10-stem bouquet already displays 30 to 50 individual flowers. A 20-stem arrangement creates a generous, full look suitable for vase display. You rarely need more than 25 stems for a statement piece.

Pair with complementary blooms

Lisianthus pairs naturally with roses, hydrangeas, and eucalyptus. Our florists often combine seven lisianthus stems with five spray roses and a few eucalyptus branches — a combination that costs around 220 AED and fills a standard 20 cm vase beautifully.

Common mistakes when buying a lisianthus bouquet

Skipping hydration prep tops the list. Lisianthus stems drink a lot of water in the first two hours after delivery. Place the bouquet in fresh water immediately — do not leave the flowers in their wrapping on a counter.

Another frequent error: placing the bouquet near a window. Direct sunlight in the UAE can push indoor temperatures above 35 °C near glass, and lisianthus petals wilt fast under heat stress. Keep the vase at least one metre from windows and away from air-conditioning vents that blow directly on the blooms.

Ordering too few stems also disappoints. A five-stem bouquet may look sparse in a wide vase. Aim for at least 10 stems as a standalone arrangement.

How to care for your lisianthus flowers

Trim 2 cm off each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing in water.

Change the vase water every two days to prevent bacterial buildup.

Add the flower-food sachet that comes with every MyGlobalFlowers delivery.

Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline.

Store the bouquet in a cool room — 22 °C to 24 °C works best in the UAE.

With proper care, your lisianthus bouquet lasts 10 to 14 days. Some customers report blooms staying fresh for up to 16 days during the cooler winter months from December through February.

Lisianthus bouquet vs. rose bouquet — quick comparison

Lisianthus gives you more visual volume per dirham. Roses win on fragrance. Mixing both creates the best balance.

A florist's tip

I always tell customers: buy lisianthus when the buds look half-open. Tight buds sometimes refuse to bloom after cutting, while fully open heads fade within three days. Half-open buds give you the longest show — they unfurl slowly and reward your patience with layers of delicate petals.
