Ladies----I need some ideas for good herbs that I can cut and bundle for drying---flowers too! I am going to be partnering with a little shop and she wants some of my herbs and flowers to sell.
I have raised beds so my soil is very well regulated-our seasons are short here in the North Woods and I believe I am in Zone 5-B...
My lavender does real well here---but I am interested in trying some tried and true herbs/flowers....
HELP!
Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a link to find out your gardening zone. I wish you good luck with your "drying venture". I would love to have the knowledge to help you out but I have a really shady yard so my choices are limited and do not dry well. Have fun planning.
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. -Henry David Thoreau-
Go to your local library. I have an herb garden. In my garden I have apple mint, lavender, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary and chives. I dry all of my herbs and I don't have any problems with any of them. I do think that lavender dries the best. Good luck. Farmgirl Kim
This isn't really an herb or flower, but I know that dried citrus zest (orange/lemon) sells really well too. You might want to try that if you have any citrus plants!
Herbs to cut and bundle for drying/flowers too!
