Lisianthus
“appreciation and lifelong bonds”
Though it looks like a delicate old-world rose, lisianthus is a prairie wildflower from the American South, where it grows as the Texas bluebell. In the language of flowers it expresses appreciation, charisma and the promise of a lifelong bond, which explains its lasting popularity in wedding work. Its ruffled, layered petals give softness to an arrangement without ever crowding it.
In season, and in the studio
Lisianthus is in season all year round, so it is in the studio this month. In the studio's bunches it is a secondary flower, the supporting cast that gives a bunch its shape and rhythm around the focal stem. The studio buys it in white, lilac and champagne, and at the bench each colour is read for its own meaning.
