Step 5: Add hanging amaranthus. Use three stems make more of a statement, but put all of the stems in the same place to make it look like one big hanging amaranthus instead of three small ones.

TIP Hanging amaranthus is grown locally as well. It grows like a wildflower. If you have seeds, it'll just grow. You can't stop it!

Step 6: Add pampas grass, chocolate Queen Anne's lace, blue thistle, blackberry scoops and your ranunculuses. These can rise above and create different layers of dimension for our arrangement.

TIP The pampas grass could easily be replaced with wheat grass.

Step 7: Fill in any holes with remaining greens.

TIP Use the last stem of smoke bush to complete your arrangement.
