Flowers we love: Alliums and Eremurus
7th Jul 2023
It's the turn of statuesque stems to take to the spotlight - two varieties that we wholly embrace at any opportunity in the summer months - Eremurus and Alliums. Exuding a certain elegance and uniqueness - join us as we delve into the reasons why these majestic blooms are a perfect choice for floral masterpieces.
Eremurus, commonly known as the Foxtail Lily or Desert Candle, is a flower that embodies a regal and ethereal beauty. With its tall, slender stalks and abundant feathery blooms, they add an element of grandeur and elegance to an arrangement. Available in various shades ranging from soft pastels to vibrant oranges and yellows, the stems can create breathtaking focal points - and really command attention! These captivating flowers are especially popular in bountiful urns - their contorting stems creating unpredictable and fabulous silhouettes.
Alliums are a member of the alliaceae family along with onions, garlic and chive to name a few. They bring a playful and sophisticated charm to floral designs. With their round, globe-shaped flower heads and long, sturdy stems, they really add a contemporary, almost sculptural air to a display. These unique blooms are available in a range of sizes, from smaller varieties, perfect for delicate arrangements to larger ones that make a big, bold statement. Their structural elegance and long-lasting nature ensure that they remain eye-catching long after they are cut and arranged.
