How Long Do Dried Flowers Last?
The longevity of dried flowers can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of flower, the drying process, and how they are stored. Generally, well-dried flowers can last several months to a few years. Some sturdier flowers, like lavender, tend to have a longer lifespan, while more delicate flowers may be more prone to fading and deterioration over time. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight can help extend the lifespan of dried flowers.
