Product Overview

Craspedia, popularly known as Billy Buttons or Drumsticks, is a striking ornamental flower admired for its perfectly round, golden-yellow flower heads perched on long, slender stems. Known for its unique texture and cheerful color, Craspedia adds character to both fresh and dried arrangements, making it a highly desirable export for florists, wedding designers, and décor retailers.

At Pomona Exporters Limited, we grow our Craspedia in Kenya’s high-altitude zones such as Timau and Naivasha, where the mild climate produces sturdy stems and vibrant heads ideal for long-distance export. Each stem is harvested at the optimal maturity, treated to retain its natural brilliance, and cooled immediately to preserve freshness.

Craspedia’s durability and versatility make it a year-round favorite in the Netherlands, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia, where it is often featured in both premium bouquet assortments and dried flower collections.
