They should be durable and not very demanding. The plants that we set on tombstones differ depending on the season. In autumn and winter we do not have such a much choice as in spring or summer, but this does not mean that we can only put artificial flowers on tombstones. There are a lot of plants on the market, from which you can make beautiful reeds, you only need to know which flowers to reach for them to look nice.
Flowers of the cemetery. In September and October, put on heather, asters and velvet
Before we decorate the graves of our loved ones with chrysanthemums, let’s reach for typical autumn flowers such as heather. They look beautiful on their own, as well as in reeds. The shrub in the pot can survive even to the first frost. In autumn, it is worth decorating tombstones also marcins, which are characterized by white and pink flowers. Dalie, but also asters, velvet and begonias will also look beautiful. Velvet, in shades of yellow, orange and red, bring warmth and joy. Begons, available in many varieties and colors, but when choosing these flowers, remember about regular watering, especially on sunny days. In addition to flowers, it is also worth using Hebe – evergreen shrub with decorative leaves, which will add composition of elegance and structure. You can also use conifers branches such as fir, spruce or thuja, which are a durable base for decorations and retain their green color throughout autumn.
Headdress
Artificial flower reeds are much more durable, but from time to time it is worth making a reed with live flowers. Heather, chrysanthemums, roses and conifers (fir branches will work best), whether boxwoods will look nice in the rays of the autumn sun. When creating compositions, you need to remember that the plants are as freshest as possible, preferably cut on the same day. A special fresh flowers will also be useful. If we want the headdress to be vertical, we stick the flowers into the florer from above, if spreading – the conifers are put around, leave the middle on flowers. In other places we plug various types of leaves, grasses, smaller flowers, e.g. heathers and ribbons.
