This sunflower is interpreted in white rather than yellow. SO18 takes the shape of the familiar bloom, a wide disc of radiating petals around a raised centre, and renders it entirely in pale sola, so it suits neutral and bridal palettes where a yellow sunflower would be too loud.
The petals are long and spoon-shaped with rounded tips, arranged in overlapping rings so a second layer shows between the first. Their surfaces are slightly concave and carry a fine, silky fibre texture. The centre is a flat cushion of short, square-cut strips coiled around a small whorl, with a cool grey-beige tone that stands in for the seed head. The product images show it styled on a wood slice and on hessian, and the reverse view reveals a coiled sola base.
Handmade in India from natural sola (shola) pith, SO18 is light enough for diffuser bottles and gift toppers yet large enough to act as a focal flower in a dried bouquet. It can also be dyed yellow or other colours for buyers who want the traditional look.
Floral Mongers supplies this sola sunflower wholesale and for export, with size grading to order.

Natural variation
The spoon-shaped petals are set by hand, so petal spacing, the overlap between rings and the height of the centre vary slightly between flowers. Natural sola can range from clean white to soft ivory, and the centre tone may differ a little between batches. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry setting and out of direct sunlight
- Handle by the base to avoid bending the long petals
- Dust with a cool air setting or a soft brush
- Store face-up in a rigid box with tissue
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
