Ethylene Sensitive Flowers All wounded plants produce harmful ethylene gas and cut flowers are wounded plants. That poses a problem when considering the storage of harvested floral crops. Exposure to ethylene gas makes flowers drop their leaves and petals prematurely, open their buds early and shorten their post harvest life. Use the guidelines below to help determine which flowers may need special care and protection from ethylene. Also, keep these ethylene-sensitive flowers away from high ethylene production produce and the many synthetic sources of the gas. The following flowers have been determined to be particularly sensitive to ethylene gas. Achilea (Yarrow) Aconitum (Monkshood) Agapanthus (African Lily) Alchemilla Clarkia (Godetia) Crososmia (Montbretia) Cymbidium Allium (Quees Anne’s Lace) (Lady’s Mantle) (Ornamental Onion) Anemone (Windflower) Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily) Anethum Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) Aquilegia (Columbine) Asclepias (Butterfly Flower) Astrantia (Masterwort) Bouvardia (Bouvardia) Brodiaea (Triteleia) Campanula (Bellflower) Carnation Chamelaucium (Waxflower) Centaura (Cornflower) Chelone (Snakehead) (Cymbidium Orchid) Daucus Dendrobium Delphinium (Larkspur) Dianthus (Sweet William) Dicentra (Bleeding Heart) Digitalis (Foxglove) Doronicum (Leopard’s Bane) Eremurus (Desert Candle) Eustoma (Lisianthus) Gladiolus (Gladiola) Godetia Gypsophila (Baby’s Breath) Ixia Kniphofia (Torch Lily) Lathyrus Lilium (Lily) Lisianthus Lavatera (Tree Mallow) Lysimachia (Loosestrife) Matthiola (Stock) Monbretia Phlox Physostegia (False Dragonhead) Ranunculus (Buttercup) Rosa (Rose) Rudbeckia (Coneflower) Saponaria (Soapwort) Scabiosa (Pincushion flower) Silene (Catchfly) Trachelium (Throatwort) Triteleia Trollius (Globeflower) Veronica (Speedwell) Source: The Society of American Florists Flower and Plant Care Manual 9480 SE Lawnfield Road y Clackamas y OR 97015 y USA y Phone (503) 659-5680 y Fax (503) 659-2204 y www.miatech-advantage.com
