Choosing Your Floral Foam

Most of our customers have seen and worked with floral foam. Many call it “Oasis” without understanding that Oasis is a brand name. It is similar to calling a soda “Coke”. What most people do not realize is that there are five different types of Oasis floral foam. Each type has a use in mind.

Springtime is light density foam. It is best suited for flowers with hollow, delicate stems such as irises, tulips, daffodils, etc.
Standard is medium density foam. It is perfect for everyday designs with roses, carnations, poms, liatris, etc.
Instant is Standard Floral Foam punched with holes for faster water absorption.
Deluxe is heavy density foam. It is ideal for larger-stemmed flowers, especially tropicals such as birds of paradise, ginger, heliconia, protea, etc.
Advantage Plus is an all purpose economy foam punched with holes for faster water absorption for the price conscious florist. It has a light to medium density with average stem grip for most day to day arrangements.
