Feature Foliage - BLOODLEAF
Bloodleaf is one of our favorite foliage choices for fall designs, with intense red, magenta, or purple hues that can bring an unexpected splash of color to warm autumn arrangements. This vibrant foliage can complement or contrast with various flowers, but it's best used as a transitional element, allowing a smooth shift from bright to dark tones.
The glossy, smooth leaves of bloodleaf bring a unique texture to arrangements. As a cut stem in floral arrangements, its long vase life makes bloodleaf an ideal addition to various design styles, from modern minimalism to lush, tropical looks.

Use stems from older established plants for longevity in arrangements
