Our hypericum berries are a vibrant and dynamic addition to any floral arrangement. These glossy, round berries grow in clusters on sturdy, slender stems, and are typically a rich, bright red when freshly harvested, though they can sometimes range in color from pale pink to deep burgundy, depending on the variety. The berries themselves are smooth and firm, with a slightly waxy texture that gives them a fresh, polished look. Each cluster is usually complemented by small, ovate green leaves that add a touch of greenery and texture to the overall composition. They can provide a bold, vibrant pop of color alongside more neutral or muted blooms like white lilies, roses, or eucalyptus, as well as with other textured fillers like baby’s breath or statice. Their compact size makes them ideal for use in both large, dramatic displays or more intimate, smaller arrangements.

Flower Care Hypericum berries:
Hypericum berries, often used in floral arrangements and wreaths, are a beautiful and striking addition to any display. While they are relatively hardy, a little care goes a long way in ensuring they stay fresh and vibrant. Here are some care tips for keeping Hypericum berries at their best
By following these care tips, your Hypericum berries should stay fresh and vibrant for a longer time, enhancing the beauty of your arrangements!
1. Trim the Stems
- Cut at an Angle: Trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom using sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife. Cut at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water absorption.
- Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater to prevent air bubbles from entering the stems, which can block water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.
2. Remove Foliage Below Waterline
- Gently remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in the water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water clean, which will extend the life of your flowers.
3. Place in Fresh Water
- Use a Clean Vase: Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water (not too hot or cold), as warm water helps the flowers hydrate more efficiently.
- Add Flower Food: If you have flower food, mix it into the water as instructed. Flower food provides essential nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth. If you dont have flower food, just plain water will do the trick.
4. Keep the Water Fresh
- Change the water everyday to keep it clear and free of bacteria. Always trim the stems slightly when changing the water to maintain hydration.
5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat
- Keep your flowers in a cool, shaded spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Excessive heat can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.
6. Maintain Proper Temperature
- Flowers thrive in temperatures between 65-72°F (18-22°C). Avoid placing them in cold drafts or near heating vents, as extreme temperatures can shorten their lifespan.
7. Recut the stems
- If the flowers start to wilt or droop, re-cut the stems by about 1 inch and place them in fresh water. This can help restore their freshness.
