We harvest them at the peak of summer to capture their vibrant shades of violet-blue, rose-pink, and creamy white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese stems are the ultimate way to add height and drama to a dried arrangement without it looking heavy. They stand poker-straight, drawing the eye upwards, making them perfect for narrow-necked vases on a mantelpiece or as the \"thriller\" element in a mixed bouquet. They bring the romance of an English cottage garden inside, lasting for years without water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRead More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"color: #005bd3; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e🌿 About these Stems\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 10px 0; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Larkspur is grown and air-dried naturally.
