Hydrangeas are popular florist flowers because of their large blossoms and varying colours making them stand out from other flowers. They can fill out large flower arrangements, bouquets, and flower stands and grow as shrubs. Their colours vary from green, white, pink, purple and even blue, all naturally grown depending on the pH levels of their soil.

Is there anything more cheerful and fresh than a daisy? Spray chrysanthemums are popular flower bouquet fillers, while Gerber daisies are large and bright allowing them to be the star show piece of a flower bouquet, vase or flower décor. This versatility makes daisies very desirable in a flower shop.

Orchids

Once considered exotic, orchids are now popular, yet still highly desirable flowers found in a flower shop. It’s hard not to admire the beautiful qualities of an orchid with its exquisite and unique shape and vibrant colours. Cymbidium and dendrobium orchids are popular types for flower shops as they can be easily arranged into flower vases or flower décor.

Tulips are a florist’s favourite spring flower. Grown from bulbs planted in the Fall, tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom in Spring. They’re bright, colourful, and extremely hardy flowers that come in a variety of warm and spring-like colours, such as red, pink, purple, orange, yellow and even bi-coloured. They make an impression on their own or intertwined into spring-inspired flower bouquets.
