What are dried flowers?
In the past Dried Flowers were the tired remains of the fresh flower industry. Today, however, companies specialize in growing flowers for the specific purpose of drying them. Dried flower producers choose and grow specific flower varieties that hold up best in the drying process. They look for varieties that maintain or intensify in color when dried, as well as those that retain their colors longer and are less likely to shatter under rough handling. Over the last several years, processing technologies have improved the quality of dried flowers, preserved flowers and preserved foliage. As a result, you now can expect dried flowers, when purchased from reliable sources, to maintain their initial attractive appearance and to last longer than ever before.
