Dahlias are a popular autumn flower in New Zealand, and for good reason. These beautiful blooms come in a variety of colours and sizes, and can add a touch of elegance to any arrangement. They also have a long vase life, making them a great choice for those who want their flowers to last.
Chrysanthemums, or "mums" as they're commonly known, are another popular autumn flower in New Zealand. They come in a range of colours and sizes, and are often used in floral arrangements for their long vase life and classic look. They are also a symbol of optimism and joy, making them a great choice for any occasion.
While roses are often associated with spring and summer, there are many varieties that bloom in autumn as well. The warm tones of orange and red make them a perfect choice for autumn arrangements. They are also a symbol of love and passion, making them a popular choice for weddings and other romantic occasions.
Sunflowers are a classic autumn flower that can add a touch of warmth and cheer to any arrangement. They come in a range of sizes and shades, from bright yellows to deep oranges and reds. They are also a symbol of happiness and positivity, making them a great choice for uplifting occasions.
These delicate flowers come in a range of shades, from white to deep pink, and have unique heart-shaped leaves. They are often sold a decorative plant, as they prefer cooler temperatures and can thrive indoors in autumn. Cyclamens are also a symbol of lasting love and admiration, making them a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Known for their large, fluffy blooms and lush green foliage which can add texture and dimension to any arrangement, Hydrangeas come in a variety of shades, including pink, blue, purple, and white. They can be used in a range of floral arrangements, from bouquets to centrepieces, and are often used for weddings and other formal occasions, but can also be used for more casual displays. In addition, hydrangeas are a symbol of gratitude and appreciation, making them a meaningful gift for a loved one or friend.
Also known as 'cockscomb', Celosia is a beautiful and unique autumn flower that is native to tropical regions of the world. It comes in a range of colours, including red, orange, yellow, and pink, and has a velvety, almost furry texture that makes it stand out from other flowers. Celosia is often used in autumn floral arrangements due to its unusual appearance and long vase life. It is a symbol of affection, warmth, and admiration, making it a meaningful gift for a loved one or friend. Whether used on its own or combined with other autumn flowers, celosia can add a touch of whimsy and charm to any floral arrangement.
Autumn berries such as hypericum, idesia berries, and paulownia berries are a great addition to autumn floral arrangements. Hypericum berries, also known as St. John's wort, have small, round berries in shades of red, pink, and green, which add a pop of colour and texture to floral displays. Idesia berries have a unique, elongated shape and are a vibrant orange-red colour, making them a popular choice for autumn bouquets. Finally, paulownia berries have a delicate, bell-shaped appearance and are a soft, muted shade of pink or beige, which can add a subtle touch of colour to floral arrangements. These autumn berries can be used in both formal and informal displays and are great for adding depth and interest to any floral arrangement. Additionally, they can be combined with other autumn flowers to create a unique and eye-catching display.
