{"product_id":"bupleurum-griffithii-dried","title":"Bupleurum Griffithii Dried","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBarn-dried on the farm at Salle Moor Hall — Bupleurum bunches of 20 stems, each 50-60cm long, harvested at the peak of their summer flush and hung in the drying barn until they hold their lime-green colour for the long term. Each bunch is a generous cluster of wiry branching stems, each one topped with the distinctive umbels of tiny yellow-green bracts that give Bupleurum its unmistakable chartreuse glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBupleurum griffithii is the florist's secret — the stem that makes every other dried flower look better. If your arrangement is running too beige, too brown, too straw-coloured, a few Bupleurum stems put fresh spring energy back into the whole thing. Neither entirely flower nor entirely foliage, it's a structural filler that adds movement, air, and that instantly-fresh chartreuse note that no other dried plant matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA quick note on why the colour holds so well.\u003c\/strong\u003e What look like tiny yellow-green flowers are actually bracts — specialised leaves surrounding the true flowers (which are much smaller still). Bracts are essentially permanent leaves rather than short-lived flower petals, which is why Bupleurum keeps its zesty colour for years rather than fading to straw within a few months like most true flowers. The right botanical trick for anyone wanting fresh-looking green in a dried arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAlso known as Hare's Ear, the stems dry firm and slightly wiry, arranging without collapsing. They branch attractively, meaning a single stem covers proper surface area in a bouquet or wreath. Anywhere you'd normally use eucalyptus, spring foliage, or fresh greenery, Bupleurum steps in as the everlasting substitute — particularly useful for winter arrangements when there's no fresh greenery to be had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarn-dried at Salle Moor Hall, Norfolk.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grown chemical-free on our own cutting field, hand-harvested at peak bloom, hung in the barn to dry naturally. No air miles, no imported stems, no plastic wrapping, no dyes or preservatives — just good English chartreuse foliage, grown and cared for entirely by us. Seasonal, available while our summer stock lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs beautifully\u003c\/strong\u003e with the warm-toned dried flowers — carthamus, calendula, dried orange peel, rhodanthe pink, and Bishy dried statice pinks make the lime green sing. Also excellent with all-cream and white arrangements (dried larkspur white, gypsophila, feverfew) for a fresh spring-like feel. Structural enough to anchor big-headed dried flowers like helichrysum, achillea, and hydrangea heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare note:\u003c\/strong\u003e green pigments in dried flowers are the most UV-sensitive of any colour. To keep Bupleurum lime rather than fading to straw yellow, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from bright south-facing windows. Handled with care, the chartreuse holds for 2+ years indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54340136337741,"sku":"DRY-BUP","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/bupleurum-griffiti-dried-4545443.jpg?v=1784539589","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bupleurum-griffithii-dried","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
