That said, we love its natural, independent streak and it lends itself en mass as well as solo in a small jug or jar. Alternatively, a few stems in a small mixed posy or a natural, just-picked bridal bouquet add an extra touch of magic.
Affectionately known as the Christmas Rose, this name tends to refer to the Niger variety which is available slightly earlier than others in November. The remaining varieties can be found from January through to March with a few exceptions like the Argutifolius being available all year round.
