Winter Bliss


Need a little extra "oomph" during these cold, gloomy winter days? You got it. Plenty of winter proteas bloom during the year's shortest and darkest days, just when you need color the most! It’s easy to capture the beauty of the season with these fabulous florals and there’s such a surprising diversity of varieties and colors to choose from. So why not enjoy all that’s available?

Protea like Andrea, Brenda and Pink Ice are eagerly available and when mixed in an arrangement they’re sure to brighten your sacred space. Surprising foliage like Leucadendron Tricolor, Duet and Salignum can bring unexpected color and lovely texture to a design too. Plus, some varieties of Leucospermum like Sunrise start blooming in early winter and the striking orange hue adds a lovely contrast. Soft silvery-green argenteum or Silver Tree, spiky Grevillea flowers and fragrant eucalyptus Parvifolia with heart shaped leaves can transform a classic design into a cheerful wintry display.







There’s no doubt, the best way to turn the ‘Winter Blues’ into 'Winter Bliss' is to surround yourself with plenty of vivid colors and extraordinary textures. With proteas, it's easy to create a design that takes the chill out of the season and delivers a well-deserved pick-me-up.
