Important Note About Bunch Sizes
Our Gum bunches are measured by overall foliage volume rather than stem count. As individual stems vary in size, fullness and spread, the number of stems in each bunch may vary. The quantities above are a general guide, and we aim to provide a consistent overall volume for each bunch.
Naturally Dried Gum | Eucalyptus
Bring a touch of natural Australian beauty to your floral creations with our naturally dried Gum (Eucalyptus).
With its distinctive foliage, beautiful earthy tones and natural textures, dried Gum is a versatile choice for bouquets, floral arrangements and home décor.
Perfect for combining with other dried and preserved flowers, it adds natural volume, texture and movement to your designs. For a simple, foliage-focused display, combine two or more bunches to create a beautiful Gum bouquet.
Natural Variations
As a naturally dried botanical, each stem may vary in colour, shape, leaf size and appearance. Some leaves may curl or have minor imperfections, and colours may continue to change over time. These are natural characteristics of dried Eucalyptus.
Measurements and stem quantities are approximate unless otherwise specified for individual varieties.

Bunch Volume, Size & Substitutions
Our dried and preserved flowers are natural products, so no two stems or bunches are exactly alike. Colours, shapes, textures and fullness may vary from the product photos.
🟡Bunch Volume & Stem Count
Where a stem count is specified, please refer to the product details. Otherwise, bunches are prepared based on overall volume rather than an exact number of stems. Product photos provide a guide to their general appearance and fullness.
🟡Stem Length & Size
Product photos are for reference, and actual bunch or bouquet dimensions may vary slightly. We sometimes leave stems longer to give you more flexibility when arranging them. If you need a specific or maximum stem length, such as for hampers or smaller vases, please let us know when ordering. We are happy to trim them where possible.
🟡Flower Substitutions
Each bouquet and arrangement is individually handcrafted. We aim to maintain the overall style, colour palette and value shown in the photos, but some flowers or foliage may be substituted depending on seasonal availability and quality. Any substitutions will be carefully selected to complement the original design and be of equal or greater value. Some flowers may also have wooden or wire stem extensions for additional support or easier arranging.
Lifespan & Care
Our dried and preserved flowers are made from real, natural blooms. While dried flowers retain much of their natural character, preserved flowers are specially treated to maintain softness and flexibility.
Unlike fresh flowers, they require no water and can often be enjoyed for months to years, depending on the flower variety, environment and care.
However, there is no fixed lifespan or guaranteed period of appearance. Colours, textures and shapes may begin changing at any time, and how long flowers remain beautiful is also a matter of personal preference.
Humidity, moisture, direct sunlight and heat can accelerate deterioration, sometimes significantly, and may cause fading, drooping or mould.
For best results, display your flowers indoors in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
