immortelles
Flowers that last
Immortelles are flowers that retain their color and shape when dried, especially varieties of everlasting flowers like strawflowers and statice.
The name comes from the French word for immortal, reflecting how these blooms seem to defy decay.
They're used in dried arrangements and memorial wreaths: a wreath of immortelles on the grave.
