Why Hardy Cut Flowers Are the Perfect Match for Florafold

When it comes to creating long-lasting, eco-friendly floral arrangements, the flowers you choose are just as important as the mechanics behind them. That’s where hardy cut flowers and Florafold make the perfect sustainable pair.

Whether you're styling an event, setting up a flower bar, or simply arranging at home, choosing durable, long-lasting blooms ensures your designs stay fresher, longer — especially when using foam-free mechanics like Florafold.

What Are Hardy Cut Flowers?

Hardy cut flowers are resilient, long-lasting blooms that hold up well in arrangements, can tolerate heat or transport, and have excellent vase life. They’re ideal for florists who want dependable results — especially in event work or installations that require setup in advance.

Think:

  • Zinnias

  • Snapdragons

  • Strawflower

  • Statice

  • Amaranthus

  • Lisianthus

  • Yarrow

  • Scabiosa

  • Chrysanthemum

  • Leucadendron

  • Gerbera (when supported)

  • Orchid

  • Geraldton wax

  • Rose (when supported & selective quality)

    and not limited to.

These flowers not only look beautiful, but they’re strong enough to support their own stems, and are less likely to wilt in foam-free systems like Florafold.

Why Use Hardy Flowers with Florafold?

Florafold is made from 100% recycled cardboard and works best when stems are well-hydrated and securely placed through its foldable design. Hardy flowers are ideal because they:

✅ Draw up water efficiently
✅ Withstand heat or outdoor settings
✅ Hold their shape and form
✅ Allow for easy arranging with less breakage

They also pair perfectly with sustainable mechanics like bowls, vessels, or upcycled containers. Simply insert Florafold into your vessel, thread in your hardy stems, and let the flowers shine.

Pro Tip for Longevity

Always:

  • Re-cut stems at an angle before inserting into water

  • Use clean vessels and fresh water

  • Remove foliage below the water line

  • Store arrangements in a cool spot before use

Florafold + Hardy Blooms = Eco Floral Magic

By pairing Florafold with hardy cut flowers, you're saying goodbye to single-use foam and hello to longer-lasting, low-waste floral designs.

Whether you're designing wedding centrepieces or creating seasonal arranagements for the market stall, your flowers — and the planet — will thank you
