Drying Lavender in the Dark 💐 Here’s a great visual example why you should dry your lavender bouquets in a dark place. This bouquet was cut by one of our kids and stored on our covered porch as an experiment. ☀️ As you can see, the side that was facing up faded to a dull gray from exposure to the sun. The side that was facing down, and not exposed to the sun, is the vibrant purple it should be! 💜 To preserve your lavender bud color, dry your bouquet upside down in a dim or dark place. Be sure
