Dried Poppy Heads and Pods

Dried Poppy Heads & Pods for Floristry, Styling & Craft

Dried poppy heads and seed pods bring natural shape, structure, and rustic character to arrangements and creative projects. Poppy heads are compact and textural, while larger seed pods add more sculptural impact. Both are carefully dried to maintain form and longevity.

Our selection includes natural and tinted poppy heads in a wide range of tones, alongside bulk poppy seed pods for larger-scale work. All are available with no minimum order, so you can buy exactly what you need, whether it’s a single bunch or wholesale quantities.

Dried Poppy FAQs

How do you dry poppy seed heads?

Poppy seed heads should be harvested once fully mature, then air-dried in a cool, well-ventilated space. Hang them upside down in small bunches and keep them out of direct sunlight to preserve their shape and colour. Learn more about drying flowers at home.
