Drying Sweet Annie

I live in New Hampshire and harvested my first crop of Sweet Annie. I tied in bunches and hung in my house (a room that is dark, warm and airy). I did make the cutting when the small bud blossoms appeared. Sad to say, only one bunch dried nicely. The others look like wilted ‘lettuce’, and feel limp as if they did not dry. What could possibly have gone wrong? This is my first try at this. . . . help??!!
