Want to add a striking, summery touch to your bouquets and arrangements? Carthamus tinctorius QIS® Kinko Orange is the perfect choice. This annual is known for its bright orange flowers, sturdy stems, and long vase life as a cut flower, making it perfect for both professional florists and hobbyists creating their own bouquets.

Perfect for cut flowers

The QIS® Kinko Orange variety of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) has been specially selected for:

  • Sturdy stems: ensure that the flowers remain upright in the vase and arrangement.

  • Brightly colored flowers: the intense orange hues make any bouquet striking and vibrant.

  • Long shelf life: the flowers remain beautiful for a long time, both indoors and in flower arrangements.

These qualities make Carthamus tinctorius QIS® Kinko Orange an excellent choice for cut flowers. They combine beautifully with other summer flowers like Zinnia, Cosmos, or Coreopsis for colorful and long-lasting bouquets.

Growth and Flowering

  • Height: 80–100 cm, ideal for vase use and as a centrepiece in bouquets.

  • Flowering period: long summer flowering period, allowing for multiple cutting sessions.

  • Colour: Bright orange, which adds warmth and energy to any arrangement.

The plants grow upright with sturdy, woody stems, making them perfect for long-term use as cut flowers. Moreover, the foliage stays green and healthy, adding to the overall visual effect.

Sowing and Care

For optimal cut flowers:

  1. Sow the seeds immediately after the last risk of frost in well-drained soil.

  2. Cover lightly with soil and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate.

  3. Choose a sunny location for strong and healthy growth.

  4. Thin out the young plants so that each plant has enough room to develop a strong stem.

With this simple care, Carthamus tinctorius QIS® Kinko Orange will develop into a vigorous plant that will provide flowers for cutting for months.

Ecological Benefits

Besides their beauty, the flowers are also bee-friendly. They attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, contributing to a healthy garden environment. This way, you can combine an attractive bouquet with ecological benefits.

Applications as cut flower

The bright orange safflower is versatile in flower arrangements:

  • Solitary bouquets: the tall stems and striking colour make the flower an eye-catcher.

  • Mixed arrangements: combine with white, yellow or red for a summery look.

  • Dried flowers: the flowers retain their colour and shape, making them ideal for long-lasting decoration.

  • Professional florists: suitable for arrangements in shops, restaurants or events because of the strong stems and bright color.
