Dried Allium Stems (Seconds)
These dried Allium heads are full of character, texture, and rustic charm, but they didn't quite meet our strict standards for premium retail bunches. They might have a slightly wonky stem, a smaller head, or a few missing florets—but they are still beautiful.
If you are planning to use dried flowers for wreath making, buttonholes, or spray painting, these are the smart choice. Why pay for a perfect long stem if you are going to snip it off anyway? These "Seconds" offer you the iconic starburst shape of the Allium at a fraction of the price, ready for your creative projects.

🔍 Why are these 'Seconds'?
We believe in transparency. These bunches are sold as seconds because they may have:
- 📉 Wonky Stems: They might be curved or slightly bent rather than poker-straight.
- 📏 Variable Sizes: The heads might be smaller or irregular compared to our premium bunches.
- 🍂 Shedding: They may have lost a few more seeds or florets than usual.
However, they are perfectly clean, dry, and structurally sound!
🎨 Styling & Crafting Ideas
These imperfect stems are perfect for:
- Festive Sparkle: Alliums take spray paint incredibly well. Spray them gold, silver, or copper to create stunning, giant "baubles" for your Christmas tree or vase.
- Wreaths: Snip the head off the stem and wire it into a moss or twig wreath. The starburst shape adds an explosion of texture.
- The "Wild" Look: A wonky stem actually looks more natural! Arrange them in a stoneware jug for an authentic, gathered-from-the-garden vibe.

Perfect Dried Companions
Mix these structural heads with softer fillers to hide any wonky stems:
- 🌾 Dried Reed Grass: The Softener. The tall, fluffy plumes of reed grass are perfect for masking bent stems, while the Allium heads poke through to add interest.
- 🌿 Dried Eucalyptus: The Filler. The broad leaves of Eucalyptus provide a solid background that makes the intricate, starry shape of the Allium head stand out.
