Care Instructions
When your flowers arrive
- Gently remove from packaging.
- Give the stems a little wiggle in the vase to loosen them.
- Use your fingers to fluff pampas, or a hair dryer on a low/warm setting held 30–50cm away.
Everyday care
- Keep in a dry area - no water needed.
- Handle gently, stems are delicate.
- Dried flowers and pampas last up to 3+ years; colours may fade over time.
- Light shedding is natural.
- Dust with a hair dryer or fan on a low/cool setting, 30–50cm away.
- Do not use hairspray as it changes the texture.
Safety
- Keep away from flames and heat (highly flammable).
- Do not digest; keep away from children and pets.
- Some stems may be dyed or treated.
- If using near food, follow hygiene guidelines.
Extra Large Pampas Tip
- XL pampas may look flat after transit. Use a hair dryer on a low/warm setting and blowing down the stem. Ideally do this outside to restore fluff.

FAQs
What are dried flowers, and how are they different from fresh flowers?
Dried flowers are real flowers that have undergone a preservation process to remove moisture, allowing them to maintain their beauty and structure for an extended period. Unlike fresh flowers, dried flowers will last years with proper care.
How long do dried flower arrangements typically last?
With appropriate care, such as keeping them away from humidity, and dust, dried flower arrangements can last between one to three years (longer, if they do not get wet/damp).
How will my order arrive?
Our dried flowers are carefully packaged in double-wall cardboard boxes to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. We use eco-friendly materials, including packaging that can be disposed of in your paper bin and biodegradable packing peanuts made from potato starch that dissolve in water. This helps minimise our environmental impact while protecting your order during transit. Your order will arrive gift-wrapped in floristry paper, ready to be unwrapped and enjoyed for years to come.
