Trockenstrauß

Trockenstrauß refers to a bouquet of dried flowers and grasses. These arrangements are created using plant materials that have been preserved through a drying process, which removes moisture and prevents decomposition. The drying can be achieved through natural air drying, pressing, or using desiccants like silica gel.

Dried flower arrangements have a long history, used in various cultures for decoration, preservation, and sometimes symbolic purposes. Modern Trockensträuße are popular for their longevity, requiring no water or ongoing care, and their aesthetic appeal which can range from rustic and natural to sophisticated and minimalist. The colors of dried flowers often deepen or change during the drying process, offering a unique palette compared to fresh blooms. They are commonly used for home decor, event styling, and as gifts. The selection of plants for a Trockenstrauß can include a wide variety of species such as lavender, statice, eucalyptus, wheat, pampas grass, and hydrangeas, chosen for their shape, texture, and ability to dry well.
