This bouquet pairs sunflowers with purple flowers: five golden sunflowers with blue-violet irises and purple stock, plus a few stems of yellow solidago. It comes wrapped in paper with a ribbon and delivered in a glass vase.
Purple and yellow are complementary colors, each making the other look stronger, and the bouquet reads as bold even from across a street. Give it for a graduation or a birthday when pastels would feel too quiet.
Each iris has a yellow stripe on its lower petals that ties it to the sunflowers. The stock carries the scent, sweet and a little spicy. Irises come in bud and unfurl within hours in a warm house, so a few may still be closed when the bouquet arrives. When irises are not available, our florist uses purple lisianthus instead, which keeps the same color with softer, ruffled blooms.
For a softer mix of white gerbera daisies and pink lisianthus, see sunflowers with white and pink flowers. For a fall version, look at sunflowers mixed with roses and dahlias.
We make it in a single size: five sunflowers, with the vase included.
