What you need to know as a florist about the Bouvardia

• Colourful splendour

  Bouvardia is available in white, pink, red or a combination of two of these colours. It belongs to the Rubiaceae family. There are around thirty species of Bouvardia, all of which come in different sizes and flower colours, with either single or double blooms. They can always be recognised by their tubular and star-shaped flowers.
  Bouvardia is unique because it is the only flower whose unopened buds have a square, pentagonal or hexagonal shape.
  You can enjoy Bouvardia every day as these buds open one by one, like little gifts, to reveal large, full clusters of flowers.

• Stylish applications

  The Bouvardia is a plant with beautiful little flowers. Its elegant appearance makes the Bouvardia a sophisticated addition to bouquets.

• Symbolic meaning

  Bouvardias have a glorious history. They are named after their discoverer, Charles Bouvard, personal physician to Louis XIII and head of the Jardin du Roi in Paris.
  The flower symbolises enthusiasm, passion and love, which is why bouvardias are often included as cut flowers in bouquets given to celebrate or commemorate an occasion.
