Materials: Iris ‘Blue Magic’, Ribes ‘King Edward’, Dianthus barbatus ‘Green Trick’, Setariaitalica ‘Tomer’, Opanicum ‘Fountain’, Philodendron ‘Xanadu’, Galax, Briza, Oasis foam and square green containers.

Step 1: Cut the Oasis foam to size and lay it in the water to allow it to become saturated. Remove the leaves from the Ribes to prevent them from turning yellow.

Step 2: Slant cut the Ribes, grasses and foliage and push into the Oasis foam.

Step 3: Finally push the Irises into the green base. Fill up the arrangement with water once it is finished. You can make one or several arrangements depending on the customer’s budget.

The result is a summer arrangement with all the allure of a summer garden. The containers can be placed close together, making them look like a single unit. Spacing them a little further apart gives an airier look.
