With so many different types of green floral material available, it’s important to find a variety that can accent bold blooms or take center stage on its own. Here are a few examples of floral fillers and greens that fit both needs.
Lepidium is an excellent example of a beautiful green filler flower for bouquets. It can transform any arrangement with its wealth of textures and vivid green color. It’s the perfect flower to provide the frame for floral designs.
Danziger’s new Green Dragon, a delicate and airy Lepidium, is a unique green filler for flower arrangements that blends harmoniously in any centerpiece or bouquet. Green Dragon has a heavier stem than other lepidiums, which won’t tangle with each other, ultimately decreasing breakage.
Green Dragon offers a wide and voluminous inflorescence and longer vase life. The blooms cover a longer stretch of each stem, making it the perfect option for those looking for more flowers and less foliage. Green Dragon is a perfect complement for traditional arrangements with peonies, roses, and hyacinth.
Paired with mauve roses and ruby-hued and light pink chrysanthemums, Green Dragon adds an airy quality to a more traditional bouquet. The longer stretch of blooms provides a graceful feel of movement to the arrangement.
Eucalyptus is a common filler used to add height, scent, and lovely green hues to arrangements. This long-lasting, go-to filler gets an upgrade with the use of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus polyanthemos). The unique leaf shape adds interesting texture and can often add a sense of movement to bouquets and centerpieces. The larger leaves can also create a beautiful backdrop for romantic boutonnieres and corsages.
The round, thick leaves of Salal, commonly known as Lemon Leaf, (Gaultheria shallon) create a shiny, deep-green backdrop for any arrangement. Lemon leaf is known for its long vase life and its ability to add height and fullness to centerpieces and bouquets.
Including Hypericum in your arrangement is a great way to add unique color and texture. Danziger’s BRISK series Hypericum adds a relaxed, natural look to bouquets with glossy green leaves and colorful berries. BRISK Mint is the perfect green addition, as this variety features plump, minty-green berries that draw the eye.
