Thlaspi (Pennycress) – The Airy Secret of Wildflower Design
At KvětinyExpres.cz, Thlaspi (specifically the 'Green Bell' variety) is our secret weapon for creating that sought-after "ethereal" look. Known commonly as Pennycress because of its seed pods that resemble tiny coins, this greenery adds a delicate, semi-transparent veil to any arrangement.
Appearance and Character: Thlaspi features slender, branching stems covered in small, heart-shaped or coin-like seed pods. Its vibrant lime-green color is exceptionally fresh. The beauty of Thlaspi lies in its movement—the stems are so light that they sway with the slightest breeze, making the entire bouquet feel "alive" and spontaneous.
Symbolism and Use: In floral language, it represents adaptability and quiet charm. It’s not meant to dominate; it’s meant to harmonize, filling the gaps between focal flowers like roses or dahlias with a soft, misty texture.
Florist Andrea's Tip (Natural Style Specialist): "Pennycress is the soul of our meadow bouquets. It provides that essential 'just-picked' wild character that is so popular right now. I particularly love using it in wedding bouquets with a boho-chic vibe—it softens the edges and adds a poetic layer of detail. In our summer bouquets, it acts as a cooling, textural mist that ties everything together beautifully."
