- Penstemon
“These are great added texture for spring bouquets,” says Evelyn Streeter of Eve Floral Co. “They provide nectar for the birds and the bees, which adds a little luck to each floral arrangement.”
- Foxglove
Streeter says these tall flowers with spiky blooms look similar to a snapdragon, but are much larger.
- Campanula
“This is a great flower for brides with allergies. Its bright flowers are not fragrant and are insect-pollinated rather than wind-pollinated like other garden flowers,” Streeter says.
- Peony
“Peonies bloom in late spring and are highly fragrant. They get their name from an ancient Greek myth where the peony plant was used to treat a wound of the god Pluto,” Streeter says.
- Viburnum
According to Streeter, the emerald green foliage on this flower is perfect for bouquets and centerpieces because its stems and leaves are hardy.
