The Good:  We love sunflowers because they are a classic wildflower and so rustic! Their heads are large, so it only takes a few in an arrangement. Pair them with some salidago and hydrangea in a mason jar, and boom, you're done!  For an alternate look, you can pluck off all the petals to show a brown center and green collar.

The Bad: They can be cumbersome to work with due to their weight and size.  They are also inflexible, stiff, and because they curve, their heads typically face sideways.

• Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water. 
• Set in a sunny spot to encourage opening if sunflowers come closed

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions.  All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine.  For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop),  incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.  

Acceptable Subs:  Daisies, mums, or cushion flowers
