About this box
If you hate throwing away fresh flowers after a week, this collection is the answer. Eighteen specialist seed varieties, curated specifically for drying and preserving — the ultimate kit for crafters, florists, and lovers of sustainable décor.
There are papery everlastings that keep their colour for years: Strawflower 'Silvery Rose' and 'Bright Rose', Statice, Gomphrena and golden Craspedia drumsticks. There is structure from the steel-blue globes of Echinops and the spiky silver collars of Sea Holly, the mustard-gold plates of Achillea 'Cloth of Gold' and tall Larkspur spires. For texture, Briza, strokeable Bunny Tails and silky Foxtail Barley, with Amaranthus tassels to hang from a wreath. And for seed heads, Honesty's translucent moons, the pods of Nigella hispanica and Poppy 'Laurens Grape', the drumsticks of Scabiosa and the chocolate lace of Daucus 'Dara'. Everything needed to grow your own winter wreaths, everlasting bouquets and buttonholes from scratch.
Thirteen annuals flower the first summer, Honesty and Daucus follow as biennials, and the Echinops, Achillea and Sea Holly are perennials that come back year after year.
How to Dry Your Flowers
Three golden rules for perfect results. Pick Strawflowers and Statice when buds are half-open — they continue opening as they dry, and fully-open flowers can brown or turn inside out. Strip all leaves from stems before hanging — foliage doesn't dry well and can go mouldy. Hang in small bunches upside down in a warm, dark, dry place such as an airing cupboard or shed — darkness preserves the colours.
