Filler Flowers Examples
Filler flowers are often used in floral arrangements to add texture, volume, and complement the main flowers without overshadowing them. Here are some common examples:
- Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila): Delicate, tiny white flowers that add a cloud-like quality to arrangements.
- Statice: Often purple or blue, these flowers can add longevity and a splash of color.
- Aster: Small, daisy-like flowers that come in a variety of colors, providing a charming touch.
- Wax Flower (Chamelaucium): Tiny, waxy flowers with a sweet fragrance, typically in shades of white and pink.
- Limonium: Also known as sea lavender, it offers clusters of small flowers in a range of colors.
- Solidago (Goldenrod): Bright yellow flowers that add a cheerful, wildflower feel.
- Queen Anne’s Lace: Delicate, white, lacy blooms that can create a rustic or vintage look.
- Monte Casino Aster: Small, daisy-like flowers, often white or purple, which add a light and natural feel.
- Hypericum Berries: Though not a flower, these berries come in various shades and add a unique texture to arrangements.
- Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily): Though often used as a primary flower, its smaller varieties can serve as fillers.
- Astilbe: Feathery plumes that lend a soft, ethereal quality.
- Seeded Eucalyptus: Again, not a flower but its seeds add a lovely texture and natural greenery.
When used thoughtfully, these filler flowers can enhance the beauty and appeal of any floral arrangement.
