Soft white tufts of cotton, each cupped in a star of dry brown bracts, give Cotton Flower a look that is both cosy and graphic. The bolls are scattered along thin, branching brown stems, so a bunch reads as small white points floating above a network of fine twigs.
GR09 is naturally dried, keeping the contrast between the fibrous white cotton and the woody brown casing. The product image shows a bunch of branched stems with open bolls along their length, and the styled shot places them in a terracotta vase, where the white heads stand out clearly against a warm background.
Cotton stems are a favourite for farmhouse and Scandinavian interiors, winter and festive décor, and neutral wedding designs. They work well on their own in tall vases, or combined with dried eucalyptus-toned foliage, bleached grasses and sola flowers. Individual bolls can be cut from the stem for wreaths, garlands, gift toppers and craft projects.
Floral Mongers supplies Cotton Flower in bunches for florists, retailers and importers, packed so the bolls stay full and clean.

Natural variation
As a natural crop, bolls vary in size and fullness, the number of bolls per stem differs, and the brown bracts range from light tan to dark brown. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry; cotton absorbs moisture and can discolour
- Avoid direct sunlight to keep the cotton bright
- Handle by the stems; bracts are crisp and can snag
- Remove dust with a cool hair-dryer on low
- Store in a closed carton away from damp and dust
