The biggest flower holiday is almost here! Are you ready? Research shows that midweek Valentine’s Day celebrations mean even stronger sales. So, 2019 is on track for a record-breaking year. According to the National Retail Federation, shoppers in the U.S. are expected to spend more than $19 billion dollars expressing their love. $2 billion of that will be on flowers.
When you think about flowers for Valentine’s Day, everyone automatically dreams up an image of roses. According to the Society of American Florists, 83% of the flowers purchased on Valentine’s Day will be roses. It’s no surprise, as their beauty and bold colors truly signify strong and lasting love.
In design work, a stunning focal point such as roses also needs a beautiful backdrop. That is where Gypsophila becomes a standout. The light and airy flowers of Gypsophila provide a wonderful accent and filler for just about any type of arrangement. Their bright white flowers highlight beautiful blooms of any variety, providing a softer, lovelier feel to arrangements, perfectly setting the tone for a romantic Valentine’s Day.
“Danziger is the global leader in Gypsophila. Our varieties offer many different styles of this must-have plant,” says Michal Shafransky Fridman, marketing and communications manager for Danziger Cut Flowers. “From dainty to dazzling, choosing the right variety will help create the best look and feel for your arrangement, adding just the right amount of romance.
