Greenery and Filler
It’s important to grow and use filler flowers and greenery to enhance floral arrangements by adding depth and fullness, filling gaps, supporting structure and shape, and enhancing the color in focal flowers.
Overall, filler flowers and greenery are essential for creating well-rounded, aesthetically pleasing floral designs that are both beautiful and functional.
Ornamental Grasses
Ornamental grasses are excellent choices for drying due to their unique textures and visual interest. Their feathery, seed-filled plumes or arching leaves add elegance and natural beauty to dried arrangements and wreaths.
Feverfew
Feverfew, or Tanacetum parthenium, is a charming, daisy-like perennial valued for its small, white or pale yellow flowers and aromatic foliage. It’s often used in floral arrangements for its delicate appearance and ability to add texture and contrast.
In the garden, feverfew thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil types, making it a great addition to cottage gardens and flower beds. Feverfew is known for its medicinal properties, traditionally used to alleviate headaches and other ailments, although it should be used with caution as it can interact with certain medications.
