I haven't done this yet, but really want to dry some of the perennials I plant in the spring. Have you done this and what perennials were successful to drying? Do they all dry well or are there ones that are better than others? And how do you dry them?

I haven't had success yet, but I tried drying my mini roses in the microwave. I thought they would be pretty on top of packages and in homemade cards.

I press more flowers than I dry, but I have dried tons of varieties. I dry mostly with silica gel, but have dried many things like delphinium, larkspur, roses, queen anne's lace, solidago, statice, hydrangea to name a few by just hanging upside down and removing much of the foliage. I rubberband them into bunches and just dry in a place that gets good circulating air and not a lot of light.

With just moving, I am just putting in flower beds, so I didn't pull from the garden this year.

There are many flowers that don't dry well. Primarily, white flowers will turn brown and red flowers can often times look a bit black and brown. Many flowers will shatter when dried if they have too many petals. I buy a product at the craft store that kinda binds them a bit to prevent them from shattering as much. In the floral industry we sometimes used a product called "shatter proof". There are a few floral sealer sprays available at craft stores too.
