Pros/Cons

Substitutes
The Good: We LOVE Brunia's texture and unique color cannot be matched! As with all textural elements, we find a little goes a LONG way.The Bad: There aren't many negatives due to the sheer hardiness of this woody nature. The foliage is not particularly attractive, so we typically remove this and only use the balls.
Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
Remove leaves below the waterline.

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point. Acceptable Subs: Snowberry, hypericum berries, or another textured element that works within your specific palette.
