Could someone tell me if you can dry certain flowers like purple coneflowers, gloriousa daisies, and monarda (beebalm) by hanging them upside down in a darkish place like you do some other flowers?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can share with me.

I've dried coneflowers & daisies upright in a vase-otherwise the petals droop and are upside down. Neither dry very pretty without the help of a drying agent such as silica gel or borax. Beebalm dries very well when hung upside down but tends to be pretty fragile when dry.
