Botanical Name: Crataegus monogyna
Country of Origin: Bulgaria
English Name: Hawthorne Flower & Leaves C/S
French Name: Fleurs et Feuilles d’Aubépine Coupées
Also Known As: Hawthorn, Mayflower
Part Used: Flowers and young leaves (with small tender stem portions) of Crataegus monogyna
Description: Hawthorne Flower & Leaves C/S is prepared from the flowers and young leaves of Crataegus monogyna, a deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and widely grown in temperate regions. The plant typically reaches 2 to 5 metres in height, producing deeply lobed green leaves and clusters of small white flowers that bloom in late spring. Harvesting is carried out during the flowering period to ensure consistent colour, structure, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the flowers and leaves are carefully cleaned to remove natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green tones of the leaves and the pale cream colour of the flowers. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections, flower fragments, and fine stem portions. This process maintains the botanical identity of Crataegus monogyna while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Hawthorne Flower & Leaves C/S displays a soft green colour with light floral pieces and slender stems. The texture remains crisp and stable during storage, retaining its visual identity and natural appearance. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending across applications.
Uses: Hawthorne Flower & Leaves C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical preparations where dried flowers and leaves are preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating flowering shrub morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable plant fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
