Hypericum (St. John's Wort) – Decorative Berries of Autumn. In floristry, Hypericum refers not so much to the medicinal herb with yellow flowers, but rather to its beautiful decorative berries (fruits). These firm, glossy berries in shades of red, pink, green, or orange are an indispensable accessory for adding texture, colour, and a rustic character.
Florist's Expert View: Texture and Symbol of Harvest For florists, Hypericum is a key "textural" element that symbolizes harvest and autumn. Its colourful berries give a bouquet fullness, interesting structure, and a natural look. They are very durable and last a long time in a vase.
Tip from Andrea (Natural and Meadow Style Expert) "I love Hypericum, especially its deep red and orange varieties. For me, it's the essence of autumn. It's perfect for autumn bouquets and meadow arrangements. It adds that perfect 'berry' detail to the bouquet, which contrasts beautifully with delicate flowers like roses or eustoma."
Use in Floristry Thanks to its texture and durability, Hypericum is ideal for:
-
Autumn bouquets (as the main texture)
-
Mixed bouquets in a natural and rustic style
-
Christmas bouquets (especially red varieties)
-
Wedding bouquets (in pink and white colours)
