Eryngium (Sea Holly)

Eryngium, also known as Sea Holly, adds texture and character to dried floral designs. Sustainably sourced and naturally preserved by Tuna Sourcing.

The Eryngium (Sea Holly) is one of the most distinctive and sculptural elements in dried floral design.Recognized for its spiky bracts, metallic-blue tones, and unique thistle-like form, Eryngium adds structure, contrast, and a touch of wild beauty to any arrangement.Each stem is carefully harvested and naturally preserved to retain its rich color and geometric texture — a true expression of Mediterranean craftsmanship.

At Tuna Sourcing, we ensure that every Sea Holly bunch combines strength and elegance, bringing natural artistry to your decorative projects.

The Sculptural Elegance of Sea Holly

Eryngium stands out with its steel-blue petals, silvery stems, and star-like form.When dried, it maintains both color and structure, offering a rare combination of durability and beauty.Its distinctive texture creates visual contrast in bouquets, wreaths, and installations, making it a key material for designers seeking modern, textural compositions.

Used as a focal or accent piece, Sea Holly adds energy and natural sophistication to any dried arrangement.

Mediterranean Heritage and Wild Charm

Native to coastal regions of the Mediterranean and Europe, Eryngium reflects the rugged beauty of seaside landscapes.Its name, “Sea Holly,” evokes strength, resilience, and natural balance — traits celebrated in modern sustainable design.

Its silvery-blue tones pair beautifully with Eucalyptus, Olive Branches, and Ruscus, creating an organic harmony between softness and form.

Sustainable Drying and Long-Lasting Color

Each Eryngium bunch is naturally air-dried to preserve its intricate shape and vivid hues.No artificial dyes or coatings are used — maintaining the plant’s authentic metallic sheen.This preservation process ensures that every stem remains eco-friendly, durable, and beautifully detailed for long-term use in interior and event design.
