Everlastings Types
Everlastings are easy to grow and often flourish in the garden without one knowing.
Annual everlasting flowers include the following:
Ageratum
Bachelor’s buttons (Centaurea),
Basil flowers
Calendula
Celosia (cockscomb)
Dusty miller
Gomphrena (globe amaranth)
Larkspur
Scabiosa
Statice
Strawflower (Helichrysum)
Both salvia and marigold also are everlastings but since these flowers do hold on to a lot of ordinary moisture, they are trickier to manage when picked. These flowers are best picked just prior to ripeness and should be immediately dried in a warm environment, which is dry. Once they are dried, the flowers will reduce in size to half their original size.
Perennial plants used as everlastings include:
Allium flowers (both chives and garlic)
Armeria (true thrift),
Artemisia
Astilbe
Baby’s breath
Butterfly weed
Gaillardia
Hydrangea
Lavender
Liatris
Monarda
Perennial salvias
Roses
Santolina
Sedum.
