FRESH FLOWER CARE

Nothing makes you smile quite like fresh flowers. They can instantly lift your mood, your day, your home, everything!  Whether it’s a gorgeous bouquet of roses, a pretty posy from a friend, magenta peonies fresh from the garden, or that impulsive bunch of loveliness you grabbed – just because, you want to make sure your flowers last as long as possible.

Here are some tips from that will help you to keep your flowers fresh, lasting longer and looking their best.

VASE

Select a vase that is the right size for your flowers.  We try to keep the height of the vase 40 to 60% of the height of your bouquet (and always make sure it is clean. Bacteria is the worst enemy of fresh flowers).

WATER

Fill the vase with lukewarm water. Floral preservative can be added BUT make sure your flowers like it!

CLEAN

Clean the flower stems. Stripping all the leaves below the water level will stop bacteria growing in the water.

CUT

Cut the stems at an angle and put them in water immediately.

POSITION

Avoid direct sunlight, heat, bright light and draughts as these will wilt your flowers.

ADMIRE

Arrange your flowers and sit back and enjoy the view. Replenish the water frequently. Change the water entirely every 2-3 days to prolong the life of your blooms.
