Safflower Yellow Grenade

Safflower is a cut flower you simply must have! We tried it for the first time this year and it is a great piece. The stems are firm, strong, and woody. They grow beautifully straight and are wonderful to arrange with. Safflower can also be used unbloomed in the form of buds, like neutral green thistles. The flowers are prickly, but the stems and leaves are not, so it doesn't bother you when cleaning the material and arranging. Well, one could talk about Safflower for a long time, it's simply a perfect piece. Orange Grenade is a yellow variegated variant. For drying, we harvest fully colored buds. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

Our favorite foliage and filler. It grows beautifully and binds famously! The flowers are yellowish, so they don't color-match every bouquet, but we still never have enough of it! And after flowering, tiny seed pods form which are also beautifully decorative and don't wilt; we love collecting those too.

Pure splendor! We don't have nicer photos for this year because every year we cut the ornamental carrot down to the last stem and there is simply no time left for photos. Thin, strong stems and umbel inflorescences resembling dill at their ends. There are thousands of tiny flowers on each stem creating a veil or lace effect. It is a mixture of colors, where some flowers are pure white, but the majority are chocolate to burgundy with a touch of white.

Statice is a classic from grandma's garden, but also an evergreen of dried flowers. We grow statice by the hundreds!

This piece has been with us for a long time. Light pink combined with creamy white. Each flower has a different distribution and combination of these two colors.

At the same time, we check the stem below the flower; it should already be firm, not "rubbery". Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

You can't imagine anything more meadow-like! The blue color is absolutely enchanting and it is a terrible shame that it can only be grown at lower temperatures. The Tall Double series is a fuller-flowered Cornflower than the one we see along the roadsides.

It dries wonderfully and does not wilt, making it suitable for corsages and wreaths. One plant produces one thicker stem with multiple spikes and 5-7 smaller side shoots.

A novelty in the Cornflower family. One of these little plants bloomed by mistake in a bed of blue Cornflowers last year, and we immediately started looking for it to grow. It is a very unusual shade of deep raspberry.

The best-selling cut Zinnia ever! But the main thing is the color! Antique wine fading into antique pink. The Queen Lime series is our favorite Zinnia; it's love at first sight!

Moving towards the center, the petals get smaller and end up unopened at the center, creating a frosted cupcake effect. No other Zinnia compares!

An evergreen favorite at the flower market! Sea Holly is a perennial; it lasts for several years in the flowerbed and spreads beautifully.

In our beds, it is the shortest compared to other China asters (50 to 60 cm), but if you put in the work and create the most ideal conditions, it can reach up to 80 cm. For us, the size of the flowers is a total win; they are smaller than other China asters and fit perfectly into all the products we arrange for weddings. And on top of all that, Matsumoto Apricot is a gorgeous and trendy shade! One plant produces up to 7 flowers.
