This is one of our absolute favorite filler flowers. These do a great job filling out an arrangement without adding too much heavy foliage. Not only do these flowers play well with friends, but they also have enough oomph to stand alone in a bouquet or arrangement. Did we mention these are gorgeous on flower crowns or in corsages and boutonnieres?

We love coxcomb for its incredible texture. Not only is this bloom fuzzy to the touch, but it also resembles a brain in the coolest way possible. Mix it in with traditional flowers such as roses to offset an otherwise standard bouquet or use it with other unique flowers to create a truly breath-taking arrangement. These are large so use them as focal flowers rather than filler.
