HOW TO BUY DRIED FLOWERS
Knowledge is in your hands
Because of the variety of methods by which suppliers can
produce dried flowers, youíll find different levels of quality
among your product choices. To help ensure you locate a
reliable source, ask the following questions when researching
vendors:
*Does the company specially select, grow and harvest its
flowers for drying? This is important because, while fresh-cut
flower growers generally harvest their blooms in the bud
stage, dried flower producers allow their stems to open in the
field. They then pick them at the appropriate stage of bloom
and move them immediately to the drying process. Vendors
who sidestep this question may be trying to sell you fresh
flowers they were unable to sell that theyíve dried using one of
the less-reliable methods described earlier.
*Can you send me a sample of the product? You must
personally check the quality of the product to verify its color,
brittleness and aroma. As with any natural product, expect
some variations in appearance and quality. (Samples are sent
to business clients only).
*Does the company offer a written guarantee of quality?
