Salal Leaves (Gaultheria shallon)

The Salal Leaves (Gaultheria shallon) are a staple in dried and preserved greenery design, known for their lush, glossy leaves and enduring strength.Each branch features broad, leathery leaves with deep green tones that add volume and texture to floral compositions, interior arrangements, and event decor.

Loved by florists for their durability and aesthetic balance, Salal Leaves provide a perfect natural base for bouquets and mixed arrangements — bringing structure, depth, and harmony to every creation.

At Tuna Sourcing, we hand-select and naturally dry each Salal bunch, ensuring a rich, vibrant finish with minimal environmental impact.

The Lush Structure of Salal Greenery

Salal, also known as Lemon Leaf, stands out for its full-bodied texture and deep, waxy appearance.When used in dried floral arrangements, it provides the perfect background foliage, supporting colorful blooms while maintaining its elegant form.

Its sturdy stems and resilient leaves make Gaultheria shallon an essential choice for long-lasting decor — equally suitable for rustic, modern, or minimalist styles.

Natural Beauty and Evergreen Character

Native to coastal forests of the Pacific and Mediterranean climates, Salal Leaves capture the lush essence of evergreen landscapes.Their deep green hue and natural sheen evoke calm and timelessness — key elements of sustainable interior design.

Whether displayed alone or combined with Ruscus, Eucalyptus, or Olive Branches, Salal Greenery offers a grounded, organic foundation for botanical art.

Our Salal Leaves are naturally air-dried without synthetic coatings or chemical dyes.This gentle process preserves their natural flexibility and deep green tone, creating a fully biodegradable, eco-conscious decorative material.
