Dried Flower Bunches

Our bunches are hand-tied to be substantial enough to use straight away. Most contain around 20 to 30 stems, measuring roughly 50 to 60cm tall depending on variety. Some delicate varieties like gypsophila come in larger volume bunches; sturdier stems like eucalyptus and reed grass in smaller numbers. Each product page lists the specific count and dimensions.

That's often the most beautiful approach. Pair a soft volume builder like gypsophila or reed grass with a structural element like seed heads or eucalyptus, then add a colour focal point such as strawflowers or larkspur. The cottage garden look favours abundance and texture — don't be afraid to mix three or four bunches into one display.

A well-cared-for bunch lasts for years. Colour will gradually soften from year one onwards — the brightest pinks and reds fade soonest, while the natural creams, browns, and silvers hold remarkably well. Many customers tell us their bunches still look beautiful three or four years on, simply paler and more vintage in tone.

No — dried flowers should never be put in water. Water makes the stems go soft and encourages mould. They need a dry vase only. If you're using a clear vase, fill the base with dried moss, sand, or small pebbles to anchor the stems and hide the cut ends.
