Common Uses of Dried Flowers and Botanicals
Dried flowers offer a natural way to add colour, fragrance and subtle therapeutic qualities to various products. Hibiscus can add a rich hue and tart note to herbal teas and cordials, while elderflower is valued in syrups and tinctures for its delicate aroma. Cornflower petals often find their way into artisan soaps and handmade candles, adding a little wow-factor without any synthetic filler. Flowers are also popular decorations for food and drinks, particularly hibiscus, rose and cornflowers.
Here are some examples of how our flowers are often used by makers and small producers:
- Rose Petals: Used to decorate food and drink, rose petals provide a delicate floral aroma. They’re also used in cosmetic or skincare products and fragranced products, such as candles and potpourri. If you have a preference on colour, we have red and pink petals in stock.
- Rose Buds: Similarly to rose petals, rose buds are frequently applied to bath products, enjoyed for their delicate, floral scent. They can also be added to tea infusions.
- Chamomile: Recognised for its calming properties, chamomile is widely used in herbal tea blends to encourage relaxation. It’s also incorporated into bath soaks and skincare preparations for its gentle, soothing effect.
- Hibiscus: With its vivid red petals, hibiscus is popular as a natural colouring and flavouring in teas, syrups and cordials. It contributes a tart, citrus taste for gin distilling and is sometimes used in cosmetic formulations for its antioxidant content.
- Lavender: Valued for its clean, herbal fragrance, lavender is frequently added to sachets, candles, soaps and potpourri. Its aromatic profile lends a distinctive, calming character to home fragrance products.
- Elderflower: Light and floral in scent, elderflower is mainly used in gin distilling and to flavour cordials and liqueurs. They also enhance bath products and botanical blends.
- Cornflower: Known for its bright blue petals, cornflower is often included in bath salts and candle toppings.
- Marigold (Calendula): Calendula petals bring a warm golden colour and are commonly added to skincare balms and soaps for their reputed skin-soothing qualities.
- Heather: Subtle and earthy, heather flowers are sometimes used in herbal infusions and traditional crafts, or as a decorative element in natural candles and sachets.
Each flower has its own character and purpose, allowing you to create products with authentic botanical qualities rather than synthetic imitations.
