Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What are dried flowers commonly used for?

Dried flowers are often used in teas, bath products, DIY skincare, soaps, potpourri, crafting, and decorative blends, depending on the flower. Always check the product page for the intended use of each item.

Are all dried flowers suitable for tea or food use?

No, do not assume that. Even if a flower is natural and dried, the product page should clearly confirm whether it is suitable for food-related use.

Can I mix different dried flowers together?

Yes, many dried flowers can be combined for teas, bath blends, potpourri, and DIY projects. It helps to choose flowers with similar intended uses and preparation methods.

Do I need a strainer or infuser when using dried flowers in tea or infusions?

Often, yes. A strainer or infuser can make preparation easier and helps keep petals and plant pieces out of the final drink.

Do dried flowers keep the same colour over time?

Not always. Natural dried flowers can fade gradually, especially if they are exposed to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.

Our Dried Flowers collection includes whole and cut floral botanicals supplied in their pure form for flexible use.

These plant materials are commonly used for:

  • Herbal tea infusions
  • Custom botanical blends
  • Bath and body preparations
  • Natural craft and decorative culinary applications

Flowers are typically prepared as infusions, where hot water is poured over the plant material and steeped gently to release aroma and flavour.

From vibrant petals to aromatic blossoms, floral botanicals add colour, character and versatility to both infusions and blends.

All items are supplied as loose dried plant material, allowing you to control quantity, strength and preparation method.
