Poppy Heads Dried (Giant)
Dried Poppy Heads (Giant)
If you want drama, scale, and impact, these Giant Poppy Heads are unrivalled. Harvested from the mammoth Papaver somniferum, these pods are significantly larger than standard varieties.
With their smooth, slate-blue/grey skin and distinctive ridged "crowns," they look more like carved wooden sculptures than dried flowers. They are the ultimate accessory for modern, rustic, or industrial interiors, demanding attention whether placed in a large floor vase or used as the focal point of a grand dried arrangement.

🌿 About these Giants
These are the premium grade—the largest pods selected from the crop. They are grown in the UK and air-dried naturally to preserve their matte finish.
The Rattle: Because they are so large, they hold thousands of seeds. We leave them inside to give the pods a satisfying weight and a soothing rattle sound when handled.
🎨 Styling Ideas
These giants need room to breathe:
- Floor Vases: Their long stems and heavy heads make them perfect for large ceramic pots on the floor in a hallway or corner.
- Solo Display: You only need 3 or 5 stems to make an impact. Arrange them at different heights for a minimalist, structural look.
- Festive Gold: These large surfaces are perfect for spray painting. Gold or copper giant poppies look incredible in Christmas installations.

⚠️ Seeds Inside
These pods are packed full of seeds. While they are generally secure, if you tip them upside down, seeds may escape! We recommend shaking them out into a jar if you plan to use them in a hanging arrangement.
