Before I started Tip of the Day, I wrote up a blog about this and posted it to our old site. Seeing how I wrote the Tip about how to soak your floral foam, I figured it would be helpful to re-post this one. Click on the product image to get more information or to purchase. Purchasing requires account registration and activation.

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.

Hope this helps!
