Taking Care of Coloured Pampas Grass

Coloured Pampas Grass
It can be a mind field choosing the right decoration for you, espesically when you don't know how to care for dried products.
To add to the confusion you then have the choice of so many different colours and varieties. Coloured Pampas grass, can add a touch of elegance, to any room, the WOW factor you have been looking for. But before you choose bright coloured pampas grass or dried flowers, their is a few things you should take into account.
- Bright coloured pampas grass, is a dyed product, so think of it like dying clothing or hair, with bright colours, there can be colour bleeding. Which means the colour can transfer onto other products.
Again like dyed fabrics, when leaving coloured pampas grass in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time, it can fade, and turn a more pastel colour. I always advise for coloured pampas grass to stay out of direct sunlight. This needs to be taken into account when hanging your decoration.
- Dying pampas grass and dried flowers, can be seen as pot luck. Because it is a natural product, the natural shades can differ this is from the growing process, and it been a natural product.
Again think of you natural hair colour, we have lots of different shades of colour in our hair, when a hairdresser dyes your hair, it doesn't all come out exactly the same, and this is due to the natural tones in you hair. So if you get a decoration with shades of different colours this is the reason for that.
- Some stems can be brighter than others, this can be to do with the dying process, or how the dyed product takes to the dye.
- Pale pastel colours don't last as long as the brighter colours, due to the fact that the fading process is less for a pastel colour.
Aslon as you keep you decoration out of prolonged direct sunlight it should last for a 2-3 years
