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.

Nigella & fir hanging wreath

Nigella & fir hanging wreath £69.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus The dried seed heads of Nigella are like beautiful striped, natural baubles and set off against a delicate feathery green fir base, they make a stunning centrepiece. Above a table or in front of a window, with or without the clip-on candle holders and beeswax candles, this hanging is an eye-catching natural decoration. Please note: Candles and clip on holders are sold separately. Please see below items that transform this wreath into a beautiful candelabra Hung on pale gold ribbons, the fresh fir is the only part of this piece that will change as it dries out, over the Christmas season. Losing the vibrance of its colour but not the delicacy of its form, it becomes just as beautiful as a dried decoration. Diameter of fir ring: 30.5cm Caution – candles should never be left unattended Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.

Dusted yew & berry wreath

Dusted yew & berry wreath £46.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus. To evoke the perfect Christmas feel of a dusting of snow or hoar frost we’ve lightly powdered the yew foliage in this wreath which also helps preserve it, holding those needles on for longer. A subtle and pretty wreath, on a handmade willow base, with a pop of pumpkin in the hand dyed ribbon, in a flourish at the top. It is substantial enough for a front door, but could equally well be used inside for a centre piece over the fireplace, or on a wall. An occasional misting with a water spray will help preserve the foliage for as long as possible. Diameter: 35.5cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.

Leafy berried ivy wreath

Leafy berried ivy wreath £39.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus A traditional foliage for Christmas, Ivy has some glamour about its shiny green leaves and plump black and green berries. En masse, as it is here, it feels luxurious, almost opulent mixed with the natural Buxus (Box) sprigs, sprayed gold to catch the light. This wreath is formed on a traditional straw stuffed, moss covered wreath base, and when the foliage does eventually dry back, you can strip the leaves and use the wreath base again for years to come, by allowing it to dry and storing carefully. The foliage will last longest if you mist with water spray daily, and keep it as cool as possible. Diameter: 35cm

Hedgerow wreath

Hedgerow wreath £37.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus Supple birch twigs are twisted together to form the base of this wreath, and teased out of the circle to form a natural, wilder impression. At the ends of the Birch are the early forming juvenile catkins, decorating the tips of the twigs. Dressed with feathers and foliage on the lower arc, this makes a substantial, dramatic wreath for a front door, where it will enjoy the cool, and any wet. If you want to hang this wreath inside, keep it as cool as possible and mist the foliage with water daily. Approx diameter: 15″ 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.

Dried ruscus star

Dried ruscus star £29.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus The parchment quality of dried leaves are particularly well appreciated if this is hung in a window with the light streaming through. Its a delicate, unusual star, with all the subtlety of natural materials, complemented with the pop of bright red, festive colour in the paper covered wire that binds this piece together. If handled and stored carefully, this star should last for a run of Christmas seasons. Diameter: 35cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options.

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.
