Hypericum

Tuesday, March 15 | Cut Flower Profiles, Cut Flowers

Hypericum is a broad genus of plants with a nearly worldwide distribution and a wide range of shapes, sizes and growth habits.  Members of this genus are commonly reffered to a St. John's Wort.  The cultivars used in the floral industry have been specially hybridized to emphasize their berry production.  Hypericum berries are very long lasting and come in a range of colors from deep burgundy to apple green to ivory.  The berries work well for adding interesting texture to smaller presentations such as bridal bouquets and boutonniers.
