Description
Pennycress is a favourite filler flower for adding texture, movement, and a natural garden feel to bouquets. Its delicate stems are covered in pretty, coin-shaped seed pods in a fresh green shade that pairs beautifully with spring blooms. Easy to grow and productive, Pennycress adds a light and airy touch to arrangements without taking away from the focal flowers. It also dries well, making it a great choice for both fresh and dried designs.

For drying, hang upside down in a dark place until pods are completely dry.
