Lepidium, known as peppercress, peppergrass, pepperweed, and pepperwort, is a plant from the mustard family that naturally occurs in warm and temperate regions. Some species form distinctive ball-shaped branches that tumble across open landscapes. Meanwhile, garden cress and its young shoots are widely known and used as a popular edible herb.

Lepidium is characterized by its tiny, round leaves delicately surrounding the branches. The stabilization process gives the plant a softer texture and greater durability compared to its dried form. Its airy structure and red hue make it perfect for filling bouquets, wreaths, garlands, and decorative floral arrangements. The delicate leaves and branches also work beautifully in smaller decorative pieces.

Thanks to its resemblance to heather and heath plants, preserved Lepidium looks especially stunning in autumn-inspired compositions. It is a versatile decorative plant that adds a unique touch while enhancing the natural character of any arrangement.
