Characteristics

Because Bouvardia blooms so quickly, it presents a different look from one day to the next. Bouvardia is most common in the colours pink, white and red. There are also number of variations on these colours, but the basis is always one of the colours mentioned. Bouvardia can also be easily recognised by its diamond-shaped flowers, that fully open within a fortnight.

Vase life

Bouvardia has an unfair reputation as a flower with a limited vase life. This used to be the case, but a host of technological innovations and new cultivation methods have massively increased Bouvardia’s vase life and quality. The flower will last at least ten to fourteen days, and various innovative developments mean that Bouvardia’s quality is excellent throughout the year.

Symbolism

The flower symbolises enthusiasm, and is therefore often used in bouquets that are given to celebrate something. Bouvardia thereby really radiates positive energy. The constantly changing flower and its unique shape make everyone enthusiastic about Bouvardia. It brightens any bouquet, but can also easily be given loose as a mono bunch. So it’s ideal for a birthday, wedding day, anniversary or a special day such as Mother’s or Father’s Day.

Touch of Dutch

Let your creativity run wild and create the most stunning floral arrangements with bouvardia. The flower mixes surprisingly well with Dutch elements. In a dark setting with traditional Dutch ornaments you can create a very remarkable mood with bouvardia. This eye-catching combination quickly catches consumers’ eye, since they are looking for striking colourful combinations to brighten their living room during the darker days.

Autumn Glow

Autumn is in full swing, and that means that everyone is spending more time at home. Candles are being lit, and warmer colours are being added to the interior. Bouvardia fits well with this with the dark red, pink and purple shades. These colours create a warm atmosphere, and that is exactly what consumers are looking for.

Versatility

Bouvardia can be used in floral work in many different ways. It is therefore a versatile flower. Traditionally bouvardia is known as a bridal flower, but nowadays it is also used in funeral work, Christmas arrangements and table bouquets, amongst other things. Technical innovations mean that the flower is less seasonal and can be used at any time of year. In other words, bouvardia is a modern and popular flower with many potential uses.
