Preserved Foliage are more than just decorative elements. Each of our preserved eucalyptus, preserved amaranthus, preserved ruscus leaves, and preserved lavender stems holds a story of delicacy, allowing you to bring nature into your home, event, or business with ease. If you need any assistance or have questions regarding volume enquiries, our customer support team is readily available to help you via email or online chat.

Preserved flowers are real flowers and plants that have been preserved using natural glycerine and dyes. This will help them to stay beautiful for many months. Tips to take care of the Preserved Flowers & Foliage are:

  • No Water Needed: Don’t put them in water or humid places.
  • Avoid Colour Transfer: Our flowers have been preserved using natural dyes and are not colourfast. Keep away from clothes and furniture to prevent stains.
  • Be Mindful of Placement: To stop colours from bleeding, keep them away from fabric and furniture. Also, don't put the vase on surfaces that are painted, shiny, or absorbent to avoid staining from any colour drips.
  • Manage Humidity: Ideal humidity is under 70%. In high humidity, dry the stems with tissue. Changes in humidity can cause preserved flowers to leak and therefore we advise you to avoid rooms that are going to experience such changes.
  • Indoor Use Only: Keep at room temperature, away from heat sources like radiators.
    Protect Colour: Position away from direct sunlight.
  • Dust Off Gently: Use a hairdryer on cool setting from a distance to clean dust.

PRESERVED FOLIAGE FAQs

What is preserved foliage and how is it different from dried foliage?

Preserved foliage is real greenery that has been treated using a preservation process to retain its softness, flexibility, and colour for a much longer time. This treatment replaces the plant’s natural moisture with a preserving solution, which keeps the foliage supple and visually fresh-looking.

Dried foliage, by comparison, is simply dehydrated. It tends to be more brittle, lighter in colour, and less flexible over time. Preserved foliage is often chosen when you want greenery that still feels lush and pliable, especially for arrangements that need shaping or movement.
Which types of preserved foliage do you stock?

At Dried Flowers & Decor, we stock a curated range of preserved and complementary foliage chosen for styling flexibility and consistency. This includes preserved eucalyptus, hydrangea, ruscus, and thistles, alongside other greenery available in natural tones as well as treated finishes.

Some foliage is fuller and softer, while other varieties are more structured, which makes it easier to mix and layer depending on the look you’re creating. This range suits everything from small home arrangements to larger commercial and event styling.
Does preserved foliage need water?

No, preserved foliage should never be placed in water. It is designed strictly for dry display, in the same way as dried flowers.

Water can damage the preservation treatment, causing colour bleed, texture changes, or deterioration over time. Preserved flowers perform best when kept completely dry and handled as a decorative material rather than living greenery.
Can I mix preserved foliage with dried flowers and pampas?

Yes. Preserved foliage is designed to work alongside dried flowers and pampas, adding greenery, structure, and visual balance to arrangements.

It’s commonly mixed with dried flowers to soften colour transitions and with pampas to introduce contrast between airy plumes and leafy textures. This combination is popular in bouquets, centrepieces, and installations where you want both movement and depth.
How long does preserved foliage last?

With the right placement and care, preserved foliage can maintain its appearance for many months and often several years. Longevity depends less on time and more on environment.

Preserved foliage lasts longest when:

  • Kept away from moisture and humidity
  • Displayed out of direct sunlight
  • Left undisturbed once styled

Because it doesn’t wilt or dry out further, it’s often chosen for long-term décor rather than short-lived arrangements.
Does preserved foliage still have a scent?

Some preserved foliage can retain a light, subtle scent from the preservation process. This is usually mild and fades over time, especially once the foliage is displayed in open, well-ventilated spaces.

The scent is not overpowering and doesn’t affect most interiors, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re particularly sensitive to smells.
Is preserved foliage suitable for wedding and event décor?

Yes. Preserved foliage is widely used for wedding and event décor because it stays flexible, consistent, and photogenic throughout the day.

It works well in:

  • Wedding bouquets and bridesmaid arrangements
  • Ceremony arches and backdrops
  • Table styling and installations

Because preserved foliage can be prepared well in advance, it’s especially practical for weddings and event flowers where timing, transport, and visual consistency matter.
Is preserved foliage suitable for high-traffic hospitality spaces?

Yes. Preserved foliage is particularly well suited to hospitality environments such as hotels, restaurants, reception areas, and lounges. It's a flexible decor option.

It’s commonly used in hospitality décor because it:

  • Holds its shape without daily maintenance
  • Doesn’t shed like some dried materials
  • Looks consistent over long display periods

For high-traffic areas, preserved foliage provides a balance between a fresh, green look and the durability needed for commercial interiors.
Can I cut preserved foliage stems down to size?

Yes. Preserved foliage can be trimmed using sharp scissors or snips to suit your arrangement or vase height.

Cuts should be made cleanly and gently to avoid crushing the stem. Trimming does not affect the preserved finish so it's easy to adapt foliage for smaller vessels, bouquets, or detailed installations.
