Are native flowers suitable for people with hay fever?

Yes, they are often one of the safest choices. Unlike grasses or heavily perfumed blooms (like lilies) that rely on wind to spread lightweight pollen, many Australian natives (such as banksias and grevilleas) are bird-pollinated. Their pollen is heavier and sticky, so it tends to stay within the flower rather than floating in the air and triggering sneezes.

Why are natives recommended for hospital deliveries?

Natives are excellent for hospitals for two reasons: Low scent: They have an earthy, woody aroma rather than a strong floral perfume, which is better for patients who may be sensitive to smells. No mess: They are hardy and don’t drop petals or pollen everywhere as they age, which helps keep rooms tidy.

Can I dry these flowers to keep them?

Absolutely. One of the best things about wildflowers (especially proteas, banksias, and gum foliage) is that they dry beautifully. Pro tip: Enjoy them fresh in water for 1–2 weeks. When the water level gets low, simply stop topping it up and let them dry naturally in the vase. They’ll turn into a rustic dried arrangement that can last for months.

Do woody stems need special care?

Yes. Native flowers often have thick, woody stems that can struggle to drink water compared to soft stems like tulips. Care tip: When you recut the stems, slice them vertically up the stem about 2 cm (splitting the bottom). This increases the surface area and helps the flowers drink more water, keeping them hydrated for longer.

Why Choose Native Flowers?

Native flowers are loved for their sculptural shapes, natural textures and impressive longevity. They are a beautiful choice for Perth homes, workplaces, hospital rooms and office deliveries because many native-style stems are hardy and long-lasting when cared for properly.

They are also ideal when you want something less traditional than roses or lilies. Native arrangements suit modern interiors, coastal homes, earthy styling and meaningful gifts where the recipient appreciates natural Australian colours and textures.

Native Flowers, Wildflowers and Native-Style Blooms

In floristry, the term native flowers often includes a mix of Australian native flowers and native-style blooms that pair beautifully with them. Australian natives such as banksia, kangaroo paw, waxflower, eucalyptus, grevillea and wattle may be combined with long-lasting feature flowers such as proteas and leucadendrons when they are the best seasonal choice.

Because fresh flowers are seasonal, every native arrangement is slightly different. This is part of their charm. Our florists select the freshest available stems to create a balanced arrangement with natural movement, colour and texture.

How to Care for Native Flowers

Native flowers often have woody stems, so they benefit from fresh water and a clean vase. For best results, trim the stems before placing them in water, remove any leaves below the water line, and keep the arrangement away from direct heat, strong sunlight and draughts.

Many native flowers also dry beautifully. Once the arrangement begins to age, you can let suitable stems dry naturally in the vase for a rustic keepsake.
