Description
Our bouquet of dried thlaspi arvense brings the papery charm of field pennycress indoors without any of the upkeep. Each faux dried-look stem is finished in a soft white tone, with clusters of flat, coin-shaped seed pods running along slender branches. The pods carry that lovely translucent, parchment-like quality you find in genuine dried thlaspi, catching the light in a way that feels quietly natural rather than artificial. Standing at a generous 120cm tall, this is a tall, airy bunch with real presence.
Made from durable plastic, the stems hold their shape year after year and keep their pale colouring without fading in bright rooms. The 16cm spread gives each bunch a full, gathered look, so a single stem can fill a space while a few grouped together make a fuller display. It sits well in a floor vase by a hallway or fireplace, and works just as nicely mixed with other faux dried grasses, tails and seed heads. Pair it with warmer wheat tones or deeper foliage to build texture, or keep things simple in a plain ceramic jug for a pared-back finish. The branching stems can be gently teased apart to widen the arrangement.
Caring for it could not be easier. There is no need for water, so you can place it anywhere without worry, including spots where a real plant would struggle. Simply dust it occasionally with a soft cloth or a light shake outdoors to keep the pods looking fresh. With no petals to drop and no wilting, it stays tidy and ready to display all year round.

Frequently Asked
Does it really look like dried thlaspi?
Yes, the flat, coin-shaped seed pods and pale, papery finish closely mirror the real thing, so it reads as natural dried thlaspi from across a room and up close.
How do I mix it into a display?
It sits well with other faux dried grasses, tails and seed heads. Group a few stems for fullness, or add one to a mixed vase alongside wheat tones and darker foliage for contrast and texture.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or give it a gentle shake outdoors. For a deeper refresh, a light pass with a hairdryer on a cool setting lifts any settled dust.
Does it need water or any care?
No water is needed at all. Keep it away from constant damp and simply dust it occasionally, and it will stay looking its best.
Will it shed or fade over time?
The plastic construction means there are no petals or pods to drop, and the white colouring holds up well without fading, even in brighter rooms.
