Luckily we have incredible British growers such as Smith and Munson, who grow a wonderful range of varieties including soft pastels, rich doubles, and elegant fringed types. Their tulips are always beautifully shaped and full of character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/16ccf8a3-aadd-4626-9f6f-7e8cbb4ca2a2/n_cheerfulness_1_1.jpg Journal - What does it mean when you buy a seasonal Mother’s Day bouquet? - Narcissi I am hoping to include scented British narcissi like Cheerfulness, which I am growing for the first time this year. They bring such a lovely perfume and are a classic sign of early spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/fe8d7f09-fa28-4c54-8af6-e87813f45dd9/IMG_8323.jpeg Journal - What does it mean when you buy a seasonal Mother’s Day bouquet? - Ranunculus Ranunculus are one of my favourite flowers to work with at this time of year. Their layered petals and rich colours make them perfect for both wedding work and seasonal bouquets. From soft pinks and peaches to deeper cerise tones, they always feel luxurious and they have an excellent vase life too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/bbf90411-9ce5-4675-8a26-c6382e9e0b4a/IMG_8437.jpeg Journal - What does it mean when you buy a seasonal Mother’s Day bouquet? - Hellebore Often called the Winter Rose, hellebores are not always celebrated in the same way as tulips or narcissi, but they are truly magical. Their dusky colours add depth and a hint of woodland whimsy to any arrangement. They are a quiet favourite of mine and feel perfect for early spring. https://www.thehopefulflowerco.com/journal/february-seed-sowing-for-wedding-flowers monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/3f00e56c-e339-480b-a068-7c755ca00ba0/Screenshot+2026-02-11+155338.png Journal - February Seed Sowing for Wedding Flowers - Larkspur Larkspur is one of my absolute favourites for weddings although it can be tricky to germinate. It requires a period of cold stratification to break seed dormancy, so sowing now means our chilly Peak District nights do the work for you. I use larkspur in almost all of my bridal bouquets because it adds height, movement and soft romantic texture. Varieties I grow: Misty Lavender Smokey Eyes Little Boy Blue Pretty Pink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/be6553fd-434f-4ee5-805f-d9c49c30be53/Screenshot+2026-02-17+131254.png Journal - February Seed Sowing for Wedding Flowers - Daucus (Wild Carrot) I have a total love affair with umbellifers and Daucus ‘Dara’ might be one of my best loved. This cultivated wild carrot produces delicate umbrella shaped flowers in soft white, pink and deep blackberry shades. I use Daucus in nearly every arrangement because it adds naturalistic texture and a wild gathered feel. Last year I even found a beautiful half and half bloom growing in the field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/7fd98b55-1096-452c-b103-d42e2a09f5cf/IMG_5140.jpg Journal - February Seed Sowing for Wedding Flowers - Helichrysum (Strawflowers) Strawflowers are incredibly versatile because they are glorious both fresh and dried. This year I am expanding to two full beds so that I can grow extra for drying and autumn workshops. Despite being native to Australia, they germinate well in the UK and produce flowers all summer long in a huge range of colours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/f826f1f5-823d-4a9e-b936-5574181742c6/Screenshot+2026-02-17+132143.png Journal - February Seed Sowing for Wedding Flowers - Violas Violas are enjoying a real rise in popularity and I am trialing them for the first time this year. Their delicate faces and soft movement make them perfect for adding a gentle, romantic touch to bridal bouquets. The variety I am most excited about is ‘Chianti Shades’ [pictured], a beautiful mix of deep berry tones and mauves. I sourced the seeds from Alma Proust and cannot wait to see how they perform in the field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/4532bd4a-59f5-4019-af96-805173da4043/Screenshot+2026-02-17+133011.png Journal - February Seed Sowing for Wedding Flowers - Scabiosa Annual scabious is another favourite of mine for adding movement and soft pops of colour. They flower right through the summer and bring so much joy to the field. ‘Fata Morgana’ [pictured] is a beautiful choice for pastel palettes, with its soft apricot and blush tones that sit perfectly in romantic wedding arrangements. https://www.thehopefulflowerco.com/journal/why-i-wont-be-importing-roses-for-valentines-day monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68262f0d32090369333c1410/e17d78a6-1087-4683-a8e7-f36ef56edba3/IMG_7748.jpeg Journal - Why I won’t be importing roses for Valentine’s Day - Make it stand out Graphic from Claire @ Plant Passion.
