Freeze-drying is an innovative method of drying and preserving real flowers by removing the moisture from them therefore preserving them. The petals are handpicked, then freeze-dried and the petals retain their colour, shape and size. The result is petals that look and feel almost like fresh petals, but easily last for 3-6 months (and often beyond). Please note that our petals are a natural product, with no dyes, and therefore there may be variations in colour, from petal to petal and what you see on your screen.
