Types of Filler (Greenery)
“Filler” (also often called “Greenery”) is extra content that may be added to flowers in a Bouquet, Vase, Basket or Other product type to give the product more Volume/Size, Interest &/or Extra Colour. Filler types are either Plant Leaves &/or Plant Stems.
NOTE: Filler can be a variety of colours:
- Some Fillers are only Green colour.
- Some Fillers are 2-Colour (Green + 1 Other Colour) or Multi-Colour.
- The colours we most often use are Green, White & Purple.
The type of Filler we use will depend on availability & its suitability to complement the Flowers & Other Filler in the arrangement. See example photos below.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How often does Isan Flowers 2 use “Filler”?
We use Filler in most of our flower products (you can see it in the example photos on our product pages). It adds more size, interest & colour than the flower content would have on its own. Basically, it makes products more impressive.
I do not want Filler. Can I order flower products that do NOT contain Filler?
Yes, definitely. Some of our flower products do not contain Filler. You can also tell us “I do not want Filler” when you create your Order (if the product normally contains Filler, we will NOT include the Filler).
