Blue viola flowers wholesale price — $18.50 / case of 50

Supplier ref. 05019 · quoted October 5, 2026

Blue viola flowers are quoted at $18.50 / 50CT case in the week of October 5, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 50CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case

The supplier states no weight for the 50CT pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does.

About Blue viola flowers

Blue violas are the cool end of the edible flower list, and they are chosen when a plate needs a colour that almost nothing else in produce provides — true blue and violet, against which every other garnish reads as warm. The flower is small, flat and sits without propping, which is why it appears on plated desserts and on canapés where a larger bloom would topple. The flavour is faint and slightly green; nobody buys a viola to taste it.

Buying notes

Count the tray rather than weighing it: edible flowers are sold by the piece and the only figure that matters is what a plate consumes. Blues fade faster than yellows and reds under warm light, so hold the tray cold until the moment of service and expect the colour, not the flower, to be what fails first.
