Charmelia, generally, conjures the feeling of wildflowers wherever used. As such it is ideal for field bouquets. One can always combine these flowers with other seasonal blooms thus creating variety in their arrangements. Its abundance of delicate blooms adorns each sturdy stem.

All these make it an invaluable asset in floral arrangements.
The flower offers a virtually limitless range of possibilities for variety. It always stands out as the star in any floral arrangement, regardless of the season. It can be used stylishly as a solo in a vase, or creating a charming composition in mixed floral arrangements

There are generally no special care requirements. Nonetheless, an exceptionally long vase life is still guaranteed!
Styling and Presentation Tips
Place a single stem of Charmelia in a tall vase on a counter to show off the many flowers that grow on a single stem. Or you can be inspired by the latest floral trends and settle for a bouquet in soft pastels. Or go for a cheery mix of bold colors like yellow, pink, or purple. Whichever way, you’ll always unleash the true charm of the Charmelia, a truly delightful flower!
