This is a bouquet built for impact – large, generous and unapologetically spectacular in both scale and colour. Composed from a lavish abundance of roses, disbud chrysanthemums, spray chrysanthemums and beautifully chosen seasonal fillers, Fuchsia arrives as a full, overflowing arrangement that is as breathtaking to hold as it is to receive. And we use the word hold deliberately – this is a bouquet of genuine physical presence, the kind that fills both arms and commands a room the moment it comes through the door.
The name says everything about the spirit of this arrangement. Fuchsia is bold, saturated and completely uninterested in going unnoticed. Its vibrant palette draws the eye from across a room, while the layered composition – full roses at its heart, the generous heads of disbuds adding substance and depth, chrysanthemum blooms bringing texture and volume, and seasonal fillers weaving it all together with a florist’s practised hand – creates something that rewards a closer look as generously as it rewards the first glance.
This is the bouquet you send when words alone are not enough. For a milestone birthday that deserves more than the ordinary, a romantic gesture that needs to be felt rather than merely seen, or simply as the most generous possible expression of love and admiration – Fuchsia delivers with a confidence and a scale that leaves no room for doubt about how much the recipient is valued.
It is, in every sense of the word, a statement.
Given the scale and variety of Fuchsia, a little extra attention on arrival will ensure every bloom performs at its very best for as long as possible.
On Arrival: Trim 2 to 3 centimetres from the base of each stem at a diagonal angle and remove all foliage below the waterline. Given the generous size of this bouquet, a large, stable vase with ample fresh cool water is essential - the arrangement needs proper support as well as hydration.
Water: Change the vase water every two days and re-trim all stems each time. With an arrangement this size, the flowers will drink generously, so check the water level daily and top up as needed between changes.
Position: Find a cool, well-lit spot away from direct sunlight, heating vents, draughts and ripening fruit. A cooler room will significantly extend the life of both the roses and the chrysanthemum blooms.
Roses: The rose stems within Fuchsia will benefit particularly from clean water and diagonal cuts. If any rose heads droop, re-trim the stem and place in a deep drink of cool water for a few hours - they will often recover beautifully.
Chrysanthemum & Disbuds: These are among the most long-lasting elements of the arrangement. They will continue to look fresh and vibrant well after the roses have peaked, ensuring the bouquet evolves gracefully rather than fading all at once.
Longevity: With attentive care, Fuchsia should remain a stunning presence in any room for ten to fourteen days, with the hardier blooms continuing well beyond that.
