Novelty Flowers
Novelty flowers give a design its texture, movement and personality. Alongside roses, Metaflor sources specialty and hard-to-find stems — from ruffled lisianthus and full hydrangea heads to tall snapdragons, fragrant stock and long-lasting alstroemeria.
This category also includes dependable workhorses such as carnations, chrysanthemums and gypsophila, which many designers rely on for color and volume. Because these flowers are strongly seasonal, the best way to plan is to share your event date, palette and quantities so we can suggest what is available from our partner farms at that time.
