Continas

We love Continas for their rich, warm chocolate brown tone that bring that cozy autumn feeling to any arrangement. Their velvety petals pair beautifully with dahlias to add both depth and vibrancy.  They also look beautiful with a soft champagne tone bloom such as Quicksand Roses.   Be sure to trim the stems of this fall flower and refresh the water often, as this variety likes a clean vase. With a little care, you can expect them to shine for about 5–7 days.

Dahlias

Dahlias are true showstoppers for fall — bold, dramatic petals and the best seasonal colors!  The deep burgundy to the softed Cafe Au Lait champagne/pink are some of my favs! They’re gorgeous when paired with greenery textures like Poke Weed (one of my favorites)  for that layered, textural contrast. Change the water daily and give them tall vases for good support since their stems can be a bit fragile. Dahlias typically last around 5 days, but they make every one of those days count.

Mums

Mums are a fall classic and one of the longest-lasting blooms of the season. Their vibrant shades pair wonderfully with hydrangea  to create a balanced mix of structure and brightness.  They also look just perfect bundled together in a  vase.   They come all shapes, sizes and colors actually!  From button mums to full pom pom mums the options are quite vast!   Just remove any leaves below the water line and keep them in fresh water. With this simple care, mums can easily last 7–10 days, making them a favorite for autumn arrangements.  I also LOVE the Mum plants we see on porches for the Fall Season!

Sunflowers

We love this happy bloom! A bundle of sunflowers paired with a simple greenery texture instantly brings sunshine to any table. They’re big water drinkers — especially right after that first fresh cut — so make sure you keep their vase filled and refresh the water often (it can get mucky quickly). When cared for, sunflowers can last over a week, brightening your space the whole time.

Roses

Roses are timeless and bring elegance to any fall arrangement.  There are some great fall varietals that we love to keep in stock here at HG.   Mochachino , Terra Cotta, Sahara, Hearts, Coral Expression - they all have a fall color tone we love to work with.   In autumn, we love pairing them with a mix of fall leaf textures  for a modern, textural look. Re-cutting stems and changing water regularly is key to keeping them fresh. Depending on the variety, roses usually last 7–10 days — and their versatility makes them the perfect anchor flower for seasonal designs.

Echinacea Pod

Echinacea pods are a designer’s secret for adding earthy texture and interest to fall flower arrangements. They pair beautifully with pampas grass for that striking natural vibe. The best part? They don’t need much water and are incredibly hardy, often lasting 10 days or more in arrangements. Their unique structure makes them stand out in any autumn bouquet.

Amaranthus (Upright Rust)

This is the ultimate fall foliage flower with its rust tones that completely embody the season. We ware used to seeing the hanging amaranthus in the red or green tones but this one is the perfect Fall texture in any arrangement.   It’s stunning when combined with dahlias or roses for a dramatic fall look. Keep the stems in moderate water — not too much — and they’ll stay happy. Amaranthus typically lasts 7–10 days, bringing that perfect cascading texture to arrangements.

Pampas Grass

Pampas grass is all about drama and movement. Its feathery plumes add volume and softness, pairing beautifully with roses or echinacea pods. Once cut, pampas is best kept dry in arrangements — no water required. The beauty of pampas is that it can last indefinitely once dried, making it both sustainable and stylish for fall décor.  Did you know a little “hairspray” on the feathery blooms will keep it from Shedding…..try it out!
