Love to have the dried flowers to enjoy after the season . We also spray a lightweight hair spray on them to make them last longer. Glad I found your site, you make decorating look so easy.

I don’t think it matters what store the hydrangeas were purchased in. If they get too wilted sometimes they cannot be revived. I just used this trick to freshen up hydrangeas yesterday. I tried putting them in water with plant food in it just to see what would happen and they looked great. Try to submerge the hydrangeas before they are too far gone.

Yay! They were really ready to be dried. Such a new and novel way! Happy Fall!

I live in Florida and went to N.C. to visit a friend. When I was ready to come home she had the most beautiful ones growing by her driveway. My luggage was in the backseat, so before I got in the car, she got her cutters and I cut a LOT and just put them in the trunk of the car. It was an 8 hour drive home and I got a late start so I was tired when I got home.. I unpacked the backseat and forgot the flowers in the trunk. A few days later I remembered they were there and had the best ones I had ever “dried on purpose”. Now that’s the way I do it.

I’m not sure because I’ve never dried them either. Does not hurt to give them a try!

It’s so nice that there are now so many varieties available. I still love the old blue Mophead but the newer ones are amazing. I’ve never tried drying the lace caps. Do they do as well?
