Dried Cornflower Bunch

Cornflowers are exquisite with their beautiful array of colours but once picked and dried they change completely and bring an enchanting star-like quality to any dried flower arrangement  

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 along with other dried flowers in a jug or use them to add a to a wreath, they bring a gentle magic 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).

🌿 Care & display tips
Keep your dried flowers out of direct sunlight and away from damp — both will fade and soften the stems over time. No water needed. Arrange loosely in a vase or tie with twine for a hanging display. Handle gently as dried stems can be brittle.
💐 Using in arrangements
Dried flowers work beautifully with other dried stems, pampas grass, and seed heads. If using in a wreath or floral foam, wire the stems first for extra security. For wedding work, we recommend ordering a little extra to allow for any breakage during handling.
📬 Delivery & packaging
Dried flowers are packed carefully in a rigid box to protect the stems in transit. Dispatched within 2–3 working days. All packaging is compostable or recyclable. Free delivery on orders over £30.
