At the center, the flower becomes much fluffier, building into a dense cushion of deep fuchsia petals with serrated edges that can pick up warmer golden tips as the season progresses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is wonderfully unusual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts novelty fully double form gives EV Puff-N-Stuff a layered, almost ruffled appearance. As the bloom opens, the outer petals tend to relax backward while that dramatic center becomes more pronounced, creating a silhouette that almost resembles an anemone or echinacea tucked inside a dahlia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn our market bouquets, this is exactly the kind of flower I use when I want texture and personality. It works beautifully with lavender, blush, dusty rose, mauve, raspberry, burgundy, plum, and cream, and its unusual shape immediately breaks up a bucket filled with more traditional ball and decorative forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor our local florists, EV Puff-N-Stuff offers something especially fun: a flower that already looks designed before it ever reaches the vase. The combination of a softer lavender exterior and saturated fuchsia center gives designers several colors to pull through the rest of an arrangement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI especially like it for garden-style wedding work. It can bring whimsy into mauve-and-burgundy palettes, add texture to blush and lavender combinations, or become an unexpected focal moment in a looser, more romantic arrangement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe plants grow to around \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3½ feet tall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, making them somewhat more compact than many of our taller cutting varieties. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat shorter vase life is something I keep in mind when deciding how to use it. I would favor freshly cut market bouquets, event flowers, and arrangements that will be enjoyed immediately rather than positioning it as a long-vase-life workhorse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat I appreciate most about \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEV Puff-N-Stuff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is that it is genuinely different.
