    HERBS IN FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS

    August 12, 2015

    This time of year my herb garden is typically erupting with foliage.  I like to keep my herbs cut back and productive, but mid-summer often produces more than I can use in cooking.  The extra clippings go into flower arrangements to compliment blossoms with colorful foliage, texture and aroma.  Try these herbs in your next arrangement:

     

    Texture: Dill and fennel offer delicate fine-textured foliage.  These herbs may initially wilt upon cutting but will perk up in the vase.

     

    Color: For sensational silver foliage and a fine aroma try rosemary or lavender in an arrangement.  Sage offers a coarser texture, and depending on variety, a touch of purple. 

     

    Greenery: Basil and parsley offer a backdrop of simple green to showy blooms.  Basil keeps well in a vase and may even sprout roots.
