Our guide to Winter Natives

The weather may be bleak and cold right now, but it is producing some amazing bright and beautiful native flowers, that are becoming more and more vibrant and abundant at the markets at the moment. We are loving putting them in all our bunches and arrangements, not just our native bunches!

Here are some of our favourite winter natives we are using at the moment.

Geraldton Wax

With all the beautiful colours around, it's hard to narrow down what colour we buy each week!!

Paper Daisies

Paper daisies come in beautiful colours, from white, to soft pinks and peaches, and then to bright oranges and pinks. We love them, and they dry out so nicely when hung upside down! That's why they are also called "everlasting daisies"!

Grevillia

Grevillia comes in different shades of pink, red, soft yellow and gold. My favourite is gold right now.

Kangaroo Paws

Kangaroo paws come in the most amazing shape, and look just like a kangaroo paw, funnily enough :)

At the moment, they come in a great range of pinks, oranges, reds, and also soft grey. The colour range will increase as the weather warms.

Princess gum

The princess gum has a beautiful big red flower, and the foliage falls like a waterfall!

Wattle

Wattle has been around since May, and the different varieties around are just beautiful, and change all the time!

Banksias

It's no secret I love banksias. And all sorts. They dry out so nicely and last so well!! Right now I'm loving the banksia praemorsa.

Blushing bride

A pretty, soft pink flower, but also coming in a creamy colour, and a more pink "sugar and spice", blushing bride is great at the moment, and adds a beautiful texture and colour to bouquets.

Boronia

This early pretty mauve boronia smells amazing and is so dainty!!

Phillica

Phillica would have to be one of my favourite australian native flowers. I love the colour green, and it dries out beautifully. We save it up so we can use it year-round for our everlasting arrangements!
