I've grown lavenders in the garden for a few years, but never tried
drying any. Lately I've seen lavender wreaths and other dried
lavender items for sale. I'd like to get one, but I'm wondering how
much value I'll be getting for the price. How long does one of these
stay looking good in a typical winter home environment with low
humidity?

They look pretty ratty, pretty fast. Better to combine them with other
vegetation that maintains a non-graveyard appearance longer, like holly, and
needle-ish evergreens.
