- Pros/Cons

The Good: Very ruffly and work beautifully to ‘fill in the gaps’ of a floral arrangement! The price is fantastic, a great range of colors, and they are very hardy and long-lasting! Because there are multiple blooms on a single stem, it only takes a few stems to fill up a large space.
The Bad: They tend to take several days to ‘bloom out’ completely. Don’t be alarmed when they come looking droopy or sad, this is normal because they are shipped in closed-bloom form.
- Remove lower leaves, give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
- Spread out and allow for plenty of elbow room!
- Place in a sunny location if blooms are slow to open.

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: Different flower variety in same color palette. Carnations, cremones, mums, roses.
