The artichoke is a unique addition to potpourri with their pointed thick leaves and green with frosted coating, which are dried to last an extended amount of time. Although they are not a flower, they do give the illusion with their many pointed leaves. The frosted green of the artichoke can fit in any décor from modern to country mixed with other items such as flower petals, pinecones, dried apples and other fruits, berries or pomegranates.
