Description
A blend of lace, purple, lavender and a woven basket makes up this winter image of a still life.
The hydrangeas can be dried and used to create a winter arrangement.
Leave blooms on the shrub until late summer. Toward the end of the summer the petals will begin to age and take on a vintage look. If left on the shrub a while longer, many blooms will pick up interesting shades of burgundy and pink. The timing for cooler areas may be much different from this. I'd like to hear feedback from those whose drying experience is different.
One can cut the blooms, strip off the leaves, arrange them in a vase, with or without water, and leave them to dry. It is not necessary to hang hydrangeas up side down to dry unless the stems are very thin and weak.
To retain extremely natural hydrangea color, use Silica Gel to dry fresh blooms.
Or, much easier-just purchase and hang this in your home or office.
