True — generally. Dried flowers lose moisture so their stems and petals become stiff and brittle, making them more prone to breaking and harder to bend or arrange than fresh blooms.
That said, florists use techniques to work with them: choose sturdier dried varieties (strawflower, statice, globe amaranth), reinforce stems with floral wire, use glue or tape instead of heavy manipulation, spray with a clear sealant, and handle gently. Preserved (glycerin-treated) blooms are less brittle and easier to work with than fully dried ones.
