Dried Panicum Grass

If you want to add a touch of magic and movement to your home, Panicum (often called 'Frosted Explosion') is the answer. This ornamental grass produces wide, airy sprays of tiny, shimmering seed heads at the tips of fine branches, looking exactly like a firework captured in mid-air.

It creates a misty, ethereal cloud of texture that softens the look of any room. Whether you display a bunch on its own for a minimalist, architectural look, or tuck stems into a mixed bouquet to break up heavy blooms, Panicum adds a professional, airy finish that transforms a good arrangement into a great one.

🌿 What is Panicum?

These stems come from the ornamental grass Panicum elegans. We harvest them just as the seed heads fully expand to create that signature "fountain" shape. They are air-dried naturally to preserve their subtle green-to-gold colour and their intricate, delicate structure.


🎨 Styling Ideas

Panicum is incredibly versatile due to its lightness:

  • The Filler: It acts like "Gypsophila" but for dried bouquets. Use it to fill gaps between larger flowers like Hydrangeas or Proteas.
  • Wreaths: Because the stems are so fine, they weave easily into wreaths, adding a wispy, wild edge that catches the light.
  • Solo Vase: A large bunch in a clear glass vase creates a modern, "cloud-like" sculpture that suits minimalist interiors perfectly.

Perfect Dried Companions

The airy texture of Panicum needs solid, bold partners to create contrast:

  • 🔥 Strawflowers (Helichrysum): Solid vs. Airy. The hard, round, colourful heads of Strawflowers look like jewels suspended in the misty cloud of the Panicum grass.
  • 🏺 Dried Poppy Heads (Small): Shape Contrast. The smooth, architectural shape of the poppy pods provides a strong focal point against the fuzzy, scattered texture of the grass.

⚠️ Handling Tip
This grass is delicate! When you receive it, give it a very gentle shake outside to fluff it up, then arrange it. Avoid moving it too much once it's in the vase to prevent shedding.

🌿 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.
