Verdila flowers-Dried flowers care

If you have been following these posts you will realize  that this is finally the last of my planned short series covering dried flowers in their many forms .. one of the  biggest trends to come out of 2020  floristry. So many lovely dried flowers, leaves and grasses in so many great colour ways!
This post is all about caring for your dried creations once you get them home.
​What to do to keep them looking good.
Picture
Dried flowers, leaves and grasses can be so easy to keep if you remember 2 simple rules
Two simple rules
Two  simple things to remember: 1. keep them dry- so not for the steamy bathroom 2. Keep them out of direct sun to preserve their colour. Remember this and your dried flowers, foliage or grasses will last and last.
Careful dusting
Once a fortnight go over a dried arrangement with a feather duster. You can also occasionally grip the base of an arrangement or vase bunch and turn it upside down whilst carefully giving a gentle shake.
Pump up those petals
With older designs some of the more delicate flower petals can further shrivel or dry out over time. This is especially true of peonies and larkspur. They can be revived by placing the flower head in a stream of steam ( avoiding singing!) which plumps up the petals once more.
Place them safely
When adding slim dried stems to fresh flowers add the slim stems last, pulling their stem ends down rather than pushing on the delicate heads. Put your vase in an out of the way place where it can be seen but not knocked as some dried plant material can be brittle and collapse easily.

So that 's it.. you now know enough to grow, buy, dry and care for dried flowers, foliage and grasses.
Have fun with them.
