Q&A: Flowers for Drying

Question: What are the best flowers to dry for arrangements? Are there any greens or foliage that can be dried?

Answer: Flowers and greens that you can grow and dry include baby's breath, cattails, eucalyptus, statice, globe amaranth, heather, helichrysum, hydrangea, larkspur, lavender, starflower, and yarrow. Ornamental grasses add height and drama to dried flower arrangements.

Dried flowers

I would like to know how to dry the "driable" flowers. Should the leaves be removed? Hung to dry, upside down? Please give me some tips.

Thank you!

Natalie
