Dried Candytuft Bunch (Iberis)
If your dried arrangement feels a bit "stiff" or "spiky," Candytuft is the solution. It produces branching stems topped with clusters of tiny, intricate flowers that create a soft, frothy effect, similar to a mini Gypsophila but with a more rustic, wildflower charm.
Dried to a natural shade of creamy-white (sometimes with the faintest blush of pink), this is an essential "blender" flower. It knits other stems together, fills gaps, and adds a lightness to wreaths and bouquets. Because of its small scale, it is also the secret weapon for creating intricate wedding buttonholes and hair combs.

🌿 About these Stems
These are the air-dried stems of Iberis. They are harvested when the flower clusters (umbels) are fully open to ensure they keep their shape.
The Texture: The stems are woody and branching, while the flower heads feel dry and papery. They add a "pointillist" texture to arrangements, breaking up solid blocks of colour.
🎨 Styling Ideas
Candytuft is versatile and works best as a supporting act:
- The Buttonhole: Its small, flat head lies perfectly against a lapel. Pair a single sprig of Candytuft with a dried wheat stalk for a classic rustic wedding look.
- Wreath Making: The branching nature of the stems makes them great for filling out the base of a wreath, hiding the wire or moss.
- The Softener: Add a few stems to a bunch of spiky Lavender or Wheat to soften the silhouette and add a "meadow" feel.

Perfect Dried Companions
Create a balanced arrangement by pairing Candytuft with these textures:
- 🐇 Dried Bunny Tails (Lagurus): The Soft Texture. The fluffy heads of Bunny Tails match the softness of Candytuft perfectly. Together they create a very tactile, gentle arrangement.
- 🌹 Dried Rose Buds: The Romantic Contrast. The small, detailed flowers of Candytuft frame the larger, bolder shape of a dried rose beautifully. It acts like the "foliage" to the rose's "flower."
⚠️ Handle with Care
Candytuft is one of the more delicate dried flowers. The tiny blooms can shed if handled roughly. We recommend placing them in a vase and leaving them undisturbed to keep them looking their best.
