Some flowers fill a bouquet, and some flowers make it. For Xander Dendas, Unicorn™ by Danziger clearly belongs to the second group. He loves working with it because it brings what he calls "a unique wildflower touch" – the kind of natural, slightly untamed feeling that people instantly respond to.
That is also what makes Unicorn™ so interesting to create with. It has long stems, abundant inflorescences, and a light, moving structure that gives every design more air, rhythm, and life. Danziger introduced it as a flower for designers who dare to stand out, and that message feels right on the stem, inviting florists to loosen their hands, trust movement, and create with more freedom.
Distributed Like a Field in Bloom
Xander’s favorite way to use Unicorn™ is not as one heavy cluster, but spread throughout the bouquet. “That way it gets an artistic atmosphere,” he explains. And that is exactly where it shines. When placed lightly between the flowers, it creates the feeling of a field in bloom – as if the bouquet was gathered on a warm morning, still carrying the freshness of spring.
Its branching shape adds movement without taking over. It can lift a bridal bouquet, soften a table arrangement, or give a shop bouquet that extra detail customers may not be able to name, but immediately feel. Unicorn™ does not behave like simple filler green. It is decorative, expressive, and full of character.
Made for Wildflower Work – and So Much More
For Xander, Unicorn™ feels most at home in wildflower-style bouquets. That loose, natural style is where its meadow-like charm comes alive. It pairs beautifully with romantic and seasonal flowers: think ranunculus, roses, lisianthus, scabiosa, delphinium, chamomile, sweet peas, grasses, and other airy textures. Together, they create bouquets that feel fresh, joyful, and effortless.
But Unicorn™ is not limited to everyday wildflower work. Xander also sees it as a beautiful addition to wedding decorations, bridal bouquets, communions, and baby showers. In these moments, flowers need to feel personal and memorable. Unicorn™ brings softness, movement, and a little surprise – qualities that make celebrations feel less standard and more alive.
In retail, it is just as valuable. Xander uses it in field bouquets for sale in his shop, where it gives arrangements a distinctive look and a higher design value. It adds that touch of spring and summer people love to bring home.
Not a Trend, but a Keeper
Unicorn™ also delivers on the practical side. It is a perennial crop, grower-friendly, with high rust tolerance, can be tinted, and offers a vase life of more than 12 days. That combination of beauty and reliability makes it useful for both florists and growers.
Asked whether it is a trend or a lasting addition, Xander is clear: “I don’t think it’s a trend. I’m quite sure it’s here to stay.” And looking at the way it moves through a bouquet, it is easy to understand why.
