Dried Cornflower Bunch

If you want to add a shock of electric colour to a neutral dried arrangement, Cornflowers are the answer. We harvest these native wildflowers at the peak of summer to lock in that incredible shades that creates a striking contrast against golden wheat or pale grasses.

These bunches capture the nostalgia of a traditional cornfield. The flowers dry to a crisp, papery texture while keeping their shape beautifully. Whether you display them as a vivid solo bunch in a jug or use them to add a "pop" to a wreath, they bring the feeling of a sunny July day into your home all year round.

🌿 About these Stems

These are the air-dried stems of Centaurea cyanus. Unlike many blue flowers that fade to grey when dried, Cornflowers retain their pigment remarkably well.

The Texture: The stems are wiry and silver-grey, while the flower heads are crisp and delicate. They have a natural, "wild" habit rather than being poker-straight.


🎨 Styling Ideas

Cornflowers are versatile and functional:

  • Natural Confetti: Gently rub the flower heads to release the petals. They make the world's best biodegradable wedding confetti—light, bright, and eco-friendly.
  • The Harvest Jug: Blue and Gold is a classic combination. Mix Cornflowers with Dried Barley or Wheat for a quintessential "Country Living" look.
  • Gift Toppers: The vivid blue looks incredible against brown kraft paper. Tuck a stem under the twine of a gift for a luxury finish.

Perfect Dried Companions

Make the blue pop by pairing it with warm or neutral tones:

  • 🌾 Dried Wheat: The Field Mix. There is no more iconic duo than Cornflowers and Corn (Wheat). The warm yellow straw makes the blue petals vibrate with colour.
  • 🌼 Dried Oxeye Daisies: The Meadow Mix. Combine white daisies with blue cornflowers for a fresh, light, summery bouquet that looks like it was just picked from a hedgerow.

⚠️ Fade Warning
Blue pigments are sensitive to UV light. To keep your Cornflowers looking electric blue for as long as possible, display them away from direct, harsh sunlight (e.g., not on a south-facing windowsill).
