Dried Phalaris Grass for Bouquets, Mixed Arrangements, and Interior Styling
Dried phalaris, commonly known as Canary Grass, is one of the most versatile and widely used filler grasses in contemporary dried flower arrangement. Its slender, seed-bearing stems and fine, airy texture provide an essential middle layer in mixed bouquets and arrangements, filling space with natural botanical depth while allowing the focal stems around it to remain the centre of attention.
We stock dried phalaris in an extensive colour palette, ranging from natural greens and deep earthy browns through to a broad selection of vibrant dyed shades, including blues, purples, and yellows, as well as the increasingly popular misty pastel tones that have become a signature of modern dried flower styling. This breadth of colour makes phalaris an unusually flexible grass, capable of anchoring arrangements in natural, neutral tones or shifting the mood of a composition considerably through a switch in colour.
For broader dried grass options to build out a mixed arrangement, the full dried grasses collection provides a comprehensive selection of complementary stems. Phalaris pairs particularly well with bunny tails for a soft, textural pairing, and with dried pampas grass for arrangements requiring a more dramatic range of scale.

Dried Phalaris FAQs
What is dried phalaris grass?
Dried phalaris, or Canary Grass, is a fine-stemmed ornamental grass that is harvested and dried to preserve its natural form. In its dried state, it produces delicate, upright stems topped with narrow, seed-bearing heads that add a light, feathery texture to mixed floral arrangements.
It is one of the most widely used filler grasses in the dried flower industry, prized for its versatility across colour palettes and its ability to integrate naturally with virtually any other dried stem or botanical material.
How do you style dried phalaris in a modern home?
Dried phalaris works well in a range of modern home styling contexts. In its natural green or brown tones, it integrates seamlessly into earthy, organic arrangements alongside pampas grass, lavender, and preserved foliage. In dyed misty or pastel shades, it becomes a quiet but effective contributor to more contemporary, muted colour palettes.
For a simple standalone display, a generous bunch of phalaris in a tall, narrow vessel makes for an unfussy and effective arrangement that suits a range of interior aesthetics. It also works well as a background filler in larger, more complex arrangements where it adds volume and texture without competing with more prominent focal stems.
Does dried phalaris require any water or ongoing maintenance?
No. Like all dried grasses, phalaris requires no water and minimal ongoing maintenance. Simply display in a stable, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and condition of the stems.
Occasional dusting with a soft brush or a gentle cool airflow will help keep the stems looking clean and fresh over time. Avoid placing in areas of high humidity or near heat sources, which can cause the stems to become brittle more quickly.
What other dried grasses pair best with phalaris stems?
Dried phalaris pairs naturally with a wide range of other dried grasses. For soft, textural pairings, bunny tails are a popular companion, with their fluffy, rounded heads contrasting well against the finer, more elongated heads of the phalaris. For arrangements with a greater range of scale and drama, dried pampas grass provides the bold, feathery plumes that sit at the other end of the textural spectrum.
For a more natural, meadow-inspired look, mixing phalaris with dried wheat and dried lavender creates a simple but effective combination that works across a range of rustic and countryside-inspired arrangements.
Can interior designers and florists buy dried phalaris in bulk?
Yes. We supply bulk dried phalaris to florists, interior designers, event planners, and hospitality businesses across the UK. Stems are available in standard bunches with quantity-based pricing that reduces the per-bunch cost as order volume increases.
