Kiss of Death - Call for Info

The Kiss of Death is truly one of the more unique tropical flowers on the market.  It can only be assumed that it received its name because of its 'weapon-like' appearance. 

The Kiss of Death is truly a unique plant and for reasons unbeknownst to many, it is categorized as a tropical flower.  It is about 20 inches in length and is best characterized by its red and brown coloration.  The stem is void of leaves, and the head itself is solid and heavy... no soft delicate petals with this plant!  Each stem weights in the vicinity of several pounds.

Due to very limited production, this product is not available online.  Please give us a call for more information on this truly unique tropical flower.

General Care Guidelines:

- Unpack carefully.

- Trim 1/2 to 1 inch from the end of each stem.

- Place the flowers in a clean vase with clean room temperature water.  

- Wet flower heads and foliage daily to prevent dehydration.

- Keep flowers away from heat sources, air conditioning ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

- Ginger and Heliconia should be stored at temperatures above 65 degrees F.

- Bird of Paradise should be stored at temperatures above 45 degrees F. 

- The Bird of Paradise produces a lot of nectar which can lead to mold growth on the flower head.  The mold can be removed easily by washing the flower with plain warm, soapy water and rinsing with clean water.

- Clean the vase and re-cut the stems every few days or as needed.
