Drying flowers – lavender

Posted on by Ruth

Try drying flowers at home – lavender is easy!

Cut your lavender stems just before they reach
full flower and hang upside down in small bunches tied with an
elastic band somewhere warm and dry such as an airing cupboard, garage or shed. Use small bunches (half a handful or less), because if the air flow is not constant around the stems, moulds may form and cause discolouration. An elastic band will shrink with the stems as they dry, and so continue to hold them firmly. They should be dry within 2 weeks and ready to use. If you want to make lavender bags, just rub the flowers off the stems before use – you may have to pick over the dried lavender to remove pieces of stem and leaf before use.

I have run a dried flower and lavender business in the UK since 2002. This means I am experienced in dried flower craft, but also am biased towards my own products – I can’t help but be proud of what I do! Find out more about Daisy Gifts Ltd® at our sister site daisyshop.co.uk

Thanks very much to all the lovely people who ask about buying custom handmade arrangements and bouquets – I’m afraid I don’t offer this service anymore, but we do sell the flowers you need to make your own.
