Hypericum

Hypericum is a widely used product amongst florists.

It is a strong flower with a vase live of two weeks
After these two weeks the Hypericum will dry and the berries will turn brown slowly.
Before this state the leaves turn dry… so then it’s a good idea to remove the leaves.

Hyperium is available at the flower action year round, but florists still use it the most in autumn.

There are also salmon pink Hypericum varieties, which are beautiful to add in bridal work and pastel coloured flower arrangements.
