I was surprised how important filler is for a bouquet. You would only need a few zinnias in the mix with lots of filler in it to make them really pop! We were able to stretch it out pretty well when we were short of those bright focal blooms..
Maybe you could try the Johnson grass  .. (I have no idea, what does it look like?) we foraged native stuff = weeds as well, if our fillers were low.. Customers didn't object. They're city, they hardly have even weeds I suppose.  |
very very true. filler is a must ... even if it is weeds.
