Preserved flowers were invented by Vermont Co. located in France in 1991. Since then, this growing industry has dramatically expanded, spreading worldwide to countries throughout Europe and Asia. Once the flowers start to bloom, they are picked and immersed in a non-toxic, drying compound that draws out the moisture and then dyed with various colors. This unique preservation process gives flowers long-lasting, sustainable life. How long do last? It depends on the type of flower, color and display location. Preserved flowers should be kept out of high humidity and direct sunlight. Eternal Rose recommends that all flowers should be kept in an air conditioned, room-temperature environment. Preserved flowers which are left out in the open are given a 2-3 year life expectancy. However, if placed in a frame, preserved flowers last 5-8 years.
