Brassica is the ornamental cabbage that puzzles at first glance: a dense rosette of wavy leaves in layers, like a peony, only the texture is coarser. Green, faintly waxy, with a cool and well-bred cast, it is not a flower for anyone expecting an ordinary bouquet. It reads as contemporary: good for filling out a composition and just as interesting given on its own. This section runs from compact bouquets of nine heads to generous ones of twenty-nine. The story here is a seasonal one: if the section is empty, write to the manager and we will tell you when brassica will be fresh and suggest an alternative.
Who a brassica bouquet suits
Brassica is chosen when the obvious will not do:
- a man, a colleague – restrained, with none of the sweetness, and with character;
- someone who likes the unusual – the sort of bouquet that stays in the memory;
- a modern interior – graphic shape and texture rather than fullness;
- when longevity matters – brassica outlasts almost any cut flower.
If you are unsure of the format, write to the manager: we will help put it together and send a photograph before it leaves us.
Brassica in other formats
Brassica keeps good company with textured neighbours. Look at the neighbouring single-flower bouquets: dahlias for a warm contrast, lisianthus with its soft ruffles, and dried flowers if you want a composition that stands for months. All our signature single-flower work is in the single-flower bouquets section.
How to care for brassica
Brassica asks little and holds longer than most flowers:
- trim the stems at an angle and place them in cool clean water;
- change the water every two or three days;
- keep them away from direct sun, draughts and ripe fruit;
- the stem is sturdy, so the bouquet holds its shape without fuss.
Every order comes with a care note.
