Dried flowers from seeds produce colorful blooms that you can dry for long-lasting decoration. Easy to sow and low-maintenance, they're perfect for bouquets, creative uses, and atmospheric, sustainable interior accents.
Dried flowers are fresh flowers that have been dried so they stay beautiful for a long time without water. They are often used in bouquets, decorations, or creative projects, and are ideal for a long-lasting floral display in your home.
There are several methods:
Hanging: Bundle the flowers and hang them upside down in a dry, dark place.
Pressing: flat between books or a flower press.
Silica gel: for delicate flowers or complex shapes.
Each method preserves different aspects of color and shape.
The drying time depends on the type of flower and the method:
Hanging: 2–4 weeks
Pressing: 1–2 weeks
Silica gel: a few days
Check regularly whether the flowers feel stiff and dry.
Dried flowers are sensitive to moisture and rain. They keep best indoors in a dry, warm place. While they can be used outdoors for short events, prolonged exposure will result in discoloration or mold growth.
Long shelf life: months to years
Little care required: no water or food
Creative possibilities: bouquets, wreaths, wall decorations
Sustainable: less waste due to a longer lifespan.
In short, dried flowers are practical, decorative and environmentally friendly.
