Nigella and poppy seed pods!!!
I've watched a lot of cut flowers videos of growers adding in dried flowers to what they grow. I'm doing that as well this year. Can't wait to see more of your content on your experience growing dried flowers!
PepperHarrow did a video on their dried flowers. In addition to what you have I think they added ageratum, lavender and winged everlasting ammobium.
I like Ammobium, Winged Everlasting, it is a a mini white strawflower with a small yellow center. It will offer a different size, texture to your dried flowers. 🌼
My Straw flower is just coming up, very easy to sow.
Plan on drying some as well, TFS! You're so creative, you will do great!
Star flower is beautiful
One surprising foliage plant that dried amazingly for me were basil flowers! I specifically dried the Mrs Burns Lemon basil flowers and they kept their color, structure, and event scent very well!
Your photos in this video are swoon-worthy! Thank you so much for sharing!
I've had great success with Vervain, Agastache, Bluestar Amsonia seed pods, spirea flowers, and Apple Mint seedheads.
Those photos at the beginning were just so lovely! You can tell you're a photographer.
I could not believe how popular dried flowers were for me last season. Nigella pods and star flower/scabiosa Stellata are both great. I also dried bachelor buttons and calendula for floral confetti. Even extra ranunculus and sunflower heads dehydrated down to cute little flowers for crafting.
Excellent💯👍👏
I'm going to try poppy and nigella seed heads. I'm excited to see how your wreaths turn out!
Thanks for another great video!! Boost your stats > P-R-O-M-O-S-M !
Thank you so much for this video! I'm wanting to try some drying for the off season this year too, so I really appreciate all the inspiration. The color palette you picked is so gorgeous! 😍 I hope you have a wonderful season 🌸
