Dried Lagurus Ovatus is a popular ornamental plant, also known by its Latin name Lagurus Ovatus or the English name Bunny Tail . It is characterized by fluffy, soft inflorescences resembling hare's tails, which retain their unique shape and delicate texture after drying, making them an ideal element in contemporary floral arrangements and interior design.
The history and origin of the blowfly
Lagurus ovatus is an annual ornamental grass native to the Mediterranean region. It occurs naturally in sandy areas, rocky coastlines, and dry meadows of southern Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia.
The plant's Latin name perfectly captures its character – "Lagurus" comes from the Greek words "lagos" (hare) and "oura" (tail), referring to the characteristic appearance of the inflorescences. "Ovatus," on the other hand, refers to the egg-shaped shape of these inflorescences.
As early as the 18th century, the ovate flower began to be used as an ornamental plant in European gardens. Over time, it was discovered that its dried inflorescences retain their unique appearance for a long time, leading to the popularization of their use in dried bouquets and decorations.
Our industry experience confirms that the Bunny Tail has enjoyed unwavering popularity among lovers of natural decorations for years. At Vikingmoss we offer the highest quality dried Bunny Tails , which undergo a careful selection and stabilization process.
Characteristics and properties of dried blowfly
Appearance and characteristics
Dried Lagurus Ovatus is distinguished by its extremely attractive, fluffy inflorescence, reminiscent of a miniature hare's tail. The inflorescences are oval, egg-shaped, and reach a length of about 2-5 cm.
Dried blowberry stems are slender and flexible, typically 20 to 40 cm long, making them ideal for a variety of arrangements. In their natural state, blowberry is light green, but when dried, they take on a delicate, creamy or beige hue.
What distinguishes the ovate blowball from other ornamental grasses is the extraordinary softness and delicacy of its inflorescences. Even after drying, they retain their fluffy structure and pleasant-to-touch texture.
Durability and maintenance
One of the key advantages of dried Bunny Tail is its exceptional durability. When stored properly, dried Bunny Tails can retain their beautiful appearance for several years.
Durability of dried ovate fly in various conditions
| Storage conditions | Expected durability |
|---|---|
| Dry room, no direct sunlight | 3-5 years |
| A room with moderate humidity | 2-3 years |
| Exposure to direct sunlight | 1-2 years |
| A room with high humidity | under 1 year |
To maximize the life of your dried birch, we recommend:
- Avoiding exposure to direct sunlight
- Store in a dry place
- Gentle dusting with a soft brush
- Avoiding contact with water and other liquids
Our customers confirm that properly cared for blowflies retain their beautiful appearance for many seasons, making them an economical and ecological choice for interior decoration.
The use of dried blowball in interior design
Dried flower arrangements and bouquets
Dried Lagurus Ovatus makes a wonderful addition to dried flower and grass arrangements. Its soft, fluffy inflorescences add a touch of delicacy and texture that contrasts beautifully with more structured plants like heather, lavender, or dried eucalyptus.
The blower looks particularly impressive in:
- Minimalist compositions in the Scandinavian style
- Rustic boho bouquets
- Modern monochromatic arrangements
- Christmas and autumn compositions
Our experience shows that the best results are achieved by combining Bunny Tail with other grasses such as pampas grass , millet or reed grass, and with delicate dried flowers such as sea buckthorn, gypsophila or heather.
Wall decorations and wreaths
The ovate dandelion makes an excellent wall decoration. Its lightness and flexible stems make it easy to incorporate into wreaths, macramé, or other wall decorations.
A popular trend we see among our clients is creating minimalist wreaths composed solely of blowballs or with the addition of one or two other types of plants. This simple design blends perfectly with modern interiors.
Table and occasional decorations
Dried ovate dandelion makes an excellent table decoration for various celebrations. Its natural elegance and delicacy complement both rustic and modern arrangements.
Applications proven by our company include:
- Wedding table arrangements
- Holiday decorations (especially Easter, where the name Bunny Tail takes on additional meaning)
- Table arrangements for photo sessions
- Gift decorations
Trends in the use of dried dandelion in 2025
The year 2025 brings new, fascinating trends in the use of dried ovate lily. At Vikingmoss, specializing in decorative, preserved plants, we closely monitor the latest trends in interior design.
We're currently seeing a growing popularity of monochromatic arrangements, where Lagurus Ovatus, in its natural, creamy shade, is combined with other grasses and flowers in similar colors. Such arrangements harmonize perfectly with minimalist interiors in Japanese and Scandinavian styles.
Another strong trend is the use of dyed ovate lilies. Modern dyeing techniques allow for subtle, pastel shades that don't distort the plant's natural character.
It's also worth noting that contemporary interior designers are increasingly using the Bunny Tail as a component of larger plant installations. Impressive walls of dried plants, where the Bunny Tail plays a key role, are becoming an increasingly popular element in hotels , restaurants, and office spaces .

Care and maintenance of dried blowfly
How to extend the shelf life of dried dandelion?
To extend the shelf life of dried Lagurus Ovatus, it should be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. It's best to store Lagurus Ovatus in a dry, moderately heated room.
Our experience shows that the most common cause of dried flowers losing their attractiveness is dust accumulation. We recommend regular, gentle dusting with a soft brush or using a hairdryer on a cool setting at a distance of at least 30 cm.
We do not recommend using sprays or other preservatives on the ovate flower, as they can clump the delicate hairs of the inflorescences and deprive them of their natural fluffiness.
The egg-shaped blower in a sustainable design
In an era of growing environmental awareness, dried blowballs are a prime example of a sustainable approach to interior design. As a natural alternative to artificial decorations, blowballs offer beauty and durability with minimal environmental impact.
It's worth noting that the production of dried blowballs has a low carbon footprint compared to artificial decorations. Furthermore, as a biodegradable material, they can be safely composted at the end of their decorative life.
At Vikingmoss we pay special attention to sustainable practices in sourcing our materials. Our Bunny Tail comes from controlled farms where the plants are harvested at their optimal ripeness, ensuring the highest quality of the final product.
