Buxus & poppy seed hanging wreath

Buxus & poppy seed hanging wreath £79.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus Dried Poppy Seed Heads make striking natural baubles, especially en-masse and in a structure like this. Held in tiered rings of Buxus (Box) foliage they bear more than a passing resemblance to a Christmas tree. Held in place by two different thicknesses of red ribbon, with a third olive green ribbon to attach the poppy seed heads, this is a vibrant piece, for suspending above a table, or hallway, in a stairwell, or in a window. As with any fresh foliage, the Buxus will look better if kept cool and misted with water occasionally – however if it’s stored carefully it dries to a beautiful parchment colour, and could be hung again for years to come. Please note: colour may vary slightly depending on the availability of plants Diameter of rings: Bottom 30.5cm Middle 20cm Top 12.75cm Approx height 80cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options. If you order other items and wish to receive these before the date selected for your wreath you will need to select split delivery in the shopping wheelbarrow.

Yew and beech nut cup star

Yew and beech nut cup star £29.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus A strong graphic star, of natural materials, that looks wonderful hanging on a wall or door, or in a window, but looks equally good propped on a mantle piece, or shelf. The yew, with a light coating of preserving, frosting spray is tightly bound to a strong metal base which makes it very robust. Beech nut cups have been gathered from below beech trees, after the squirrels have taken the nuts. Their lovely deep brown textured form punctuate this star, like the light bulbs on a fairground sign. Diameter: 35cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.

Buxus & fir star

Buxus & fir star £29.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus Natural sprigs of Buxus (Box) have been sprayed gold with plant spray which not only makes them catch the light beautifully but also preserves them, so this natural decoration should see you right through the festive season. A sturdy metal base has been wrapped with conifer foliage, and the star accentuated by the the lines of Box. This is lovely hanging or propped on a mantle piece, where it works really well with a couple of the Buxus Chain Garlands sweeping out at either side; or in a window, or on a wall or door. Diameter: 35cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.

Buxus star

Buxus star £29.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus On a robust metal base, this star is made from sprigs of clipped Buxus (Box) bound in bunches to form a strong but textured decoration. The light catches the tiny Box leaves in a beautiful way, and this star is most effective when hung, or propped somewhere that makes the most of that quality. The fresh foliage will be best preserved in a cool environment – but will last well in a heated room if it is misted with water spray daily. It dries rather beautifully, eventually to a parchment colour which is stable for years to come if stored carefully. Diameter: 35cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.
