Dried Delights
Instructions for drying the flowers are found on these seed packets. The Flowers, Dried Delights, will help you enjoy bouquets from your garden year-round when you grow these flowers. When fresh flowers are scarce and expensive in the winter, arrangements of "everlastings" are a wonderful alternative for indoor floral decorations. Plant 1 to 2 weeks before the average last spring frost date. Dried flowers provide endless possibilities for flower arrangements, wreaths, swags and other craft ideas. Place them in full sun and keep the soil well drained and moist. Some of the flowers contained in the seed packet are Baby's Breath, Bells of Ireland, Chinese Lantern, Green Thumb, Love in a Mist, Money plant, Pampas Plume, and Strawflowers. This mix covers approximately 40 square feet. The Dried Flower packet contains seed of 20 different flowers that lend themselves to drying. Sometimes called everlastings, these varieties are well-suited to drying and other methods of preservation. ... find out more
Poppy - California Mix The Poppy can be used as a cut flower, wildflower plantings, and for soil erosion control. The Mixed Colors Poppy will grow in almost any soil that is well drained. On cloudy days or in the shade, the blooms will close. In cold climates, plant as soon as the ground can be worked. In zones 7-11, though, the foliage often overwinters. |
