If you’ve admired the
dried flower arrangements
in the stores but didn’t think
much of the price tags, try
your hand at drying plants at
home. Mary Lewis, Atkinson
County Extension Service
Agent, says it’s not that hard
if you know what you’re do
ing.
Lewis lists almost a hun
dred wild and cultivated
plants suitable for drying, in
cluding Queen Anne’s Lace,
cattail, milkweed,
goldenrod, sumac, ferns,
pussy willow, rabbit tobac
co, holly, cockscomb, peach
blossoms, corn tassels,
dogwood and okra pods.
It may be a little late for
some of them but Lewis
says, “All plants that you
wish to dry should be
gathered just as they reach
maturity. Strip all the
foliage from the flowering
plants and start the drying
process immediately. A dark
attic or closet with ventila
tion is the best place to dry.”
Foliage can be dried using
several methods. Most
material will dry in two
weeks.
For an upside down drying
procedure, Lewis says tie
the flowers in small bunches
and darken the room since
light fades the colors. String
a heavy cord or light rope
across the room and hand
hang the bunches upside
down. You can save some
problems later if you ar
range the bunches just the
way you want your arrange
ment to look.
For pressing, place the
plant material between
several thicknesses of
newspapers, weight it down
and let it stand for two to
four weeks in a dry place.
Sand box drying is another
procedure. Says Lewis, “Use
clean, dry sand. It’s a good
idea to sift, wash and dry the
sand in the oven 15 minutes
unless you can get beach
sand. Damp sand will spot
the color in the flowers. Get
wooden boxes large fruit
juice cans, oil cans, or
buckets, and label with the
date. r -v
“Place the flowers upside
down on top of a four-inch
bed of sand - be careful not
to let any flower touch
another one. Pour on more
sand until the flower heads
are covered. Store in a cool
dark place for two weeks.”
The borax method has an
advantage over sand
because it does not require a
dark room. Use the same
procedure as the sand
method.
Adds Lewis, “Many
flowers dry in a day and a
half, like daffadills and
daisies, others take as long
as 65 hours and some may
take five or six weeks. You
will need to experiment and
take up a test flower to see if
it seems dry. In general,
very heavy flowers like
lillies take longer than
lighter flowers.”
One of the newest methods
of drying flowers is with a
microwave oven. The
flowers will dry in record
time and it gives a fresher
and more colorful ap
pearance, says Lewis.
“Select a container deep
enough to cover the entire
flower with the drying agent.
Then put a half inch layer of
silica gel, an equal mixture
of borax and com meal or
kitty litter. Leave the flower
stem a half inch long and
place the flowers face up in
the agent. Sprinkle the dry
ing material gently over the
flowers and make sure not to
bend the petals. Completely
cover them.
“Now set the oven at one to
three minutes, add a
separate glass cup of water
to prevent the flower from
completely drying up. Ex
periment with the timing.
“After the flowers have
been dried, take them from
the oven and leave them in
the agent for at least 10
hours.”
The glycerin method lends
itself best to forage, says
Lewis. Wash the plant
material and then beat the
ends of the stems to a pulp
for about two inches so they
will be more absorbent.
Place a solution of two parts
water and one part glycerin
in a jar so the stems of plants
will be covered up to five in
ches with the solution. Let it
stand two weeks or until the
leaves change color. Some
leaves require five or six
weeks. Glycerin makes
foliage plants look more like
satin.
