Everlastings

Everyone wants to know if there is a flower that can be planted in early spring, remain beautiful and one is able to look at the flowers for a long time. Well in fact, there is a plant and these are everlastings. Everlastings are plants that maintain their great shape, youth, and color many months after they have been clipped and dried. The best news is that these plants are not difficult to grow or dry.
Everlastings are quite different from many other types of flowers.

Most of the species of everlastings have little or no moisture on the flowers. Moreover, they feel soft and dry to touch even before they are clipped and dried. In the past, there were no cut flowers available and everlastings were the only alternative flowers for the indoors.

Everlastings have a rich history and have been popular flowers in most cultures for centuries. In the latter part of 19th and 20th century, the popularity of everlastings decreased, partly because of availability of silk or synthetic flowers. Now things have changed again. Everlastings are again one of the most sought flowers for homes.

Today everlastings can be bought from almost any flower shop and the majority are imported from Europe.
