All about the beautiful hibiscus

Hibiscus flowers are quite common and they are available in red and pink. There are even some two toned varieties that are even more attractive. When sending flowers to a loved one, the most common options include carnations, roses, lilies, and so on. Of course, although hibiscus flowers can also be used to create some of the most memorable displays.

One of the main benefits of using this flower is that you can be sure that it is safe. Hibiscus flowers do not have any toxic properties and you can use them to decorate food tables and even as garnishes for meals and drinks. You also need not worry about your pets or young children coming into contact with this flower. That said, you should always wash these flowers before you use them. This will ensure that you don’t end up with any chemicals, soil, or bugs in your drink or on your plate.

When you use hibiscus flowers in arrangements, you should take the necessary steps not to overcrowd these beauties. Use some foliage but avoid packing too much foliage around and in between these large blooms. Ferns are great for these arrangements and they add great colour as well as texture. If you want to make a water arrangement, you will love using hibiscus flowers. Submerge them in a bowl or vase and you will love the way the water magnifies their beauty.

Hibiscus flowers can even last a significant amount of time without water. When you do this, you should always pick the flower that morning so that it is as fresh as possible. Wait for the morning dew to evaporate before picking these flowers but take care not to wait too long. You don’t want them to come into contact with the hot sun. Keep your flowers in the fridge until you are ready to use them. Hereafter, they should last as long as 7 hours without water.

If you are planning a pool party, you will love the look of your swimming pool once you decorate it with hibiscus flowers! Let these flowers float on the water and add some to your tables too. If you enjoy wearing flowers, you can slip on in your hair too!
