Dried flowers — your questions answered

What's the difference between bunches, stems and seed heads?

Bunches are ready-tied arrangements of several stems — ideal as a finished display or starting point for your own arrangement. Individual stems let you build something yourself, mixing varieties to suit your style or vase. Seed heads (and grasses) are valued for structure and texture rather than colour — the architectural shapes of nigella pods, scabious moons, or fluffy reed plumes that add depth to any display.

How long do dried flowers last?

Cared for properly, our dried flowers last for years rather than weeks. The colours will gradually soften over time — part of their charm, the way they age into a deeper, more vintage palette. Kept away from damp and direct sunlight, a dried bunch can easily look beautiful three or four years after you bring it home.

Are your dried flowers naturally dried or treated?

Everything in this collection is 100% natural — grown, harvested, and air-dried by hand on our flower farm in Reepham, Norfolk. No bleaching, no dyes, no chemical preservation. The colours you see are the colours the flowers achieved naturally on the plant, captured at peak by hanging them upside down in a warm, dark space.

How do I care for them at home?

Keep them away from direct sunlight (which fades colours over months) and away from damp or steam (which softens stems and can encourage mould). A shaded hallway, dining room, or living-room corner is ideal — avoid bathrooms and humid kitchens. To dust, use a hairdryer on a cool, low setting; it gently blows dust away without damaging delicate stems.

Can I dry my own from seed?

Yes — and we sell the seeds to do it. Our Flowers Perfect for Drying collection contains everlasting varieties (strawflowers, statice, craspedia, gypsophila and more) chosen specifically for their papery, long-lasting structure. Sow in spring, harvest in late summer at the right stage, and air-dry hanging upside down in a warm, dark space.

Can I use them for weddings or events?

Absolutely — dried flowers are increasingly popular for weddings precisely because they can be prepared weeks ahead, won't wilt on the day, and keep as a keepsake long after. Our bunches work beautifully for centrepieces and aisle decoration, and our biodegradable natural confetti is ideal for the toss. Order early in busy wedding seasons; we hand-bunch everything to order.
