About the flowers
Gerbera
Big, flat daisy faces in bright colours. Gerberas like shallow water, as their stems can soften.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Rose
The classic cut flower. Recut stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water out of direct sun.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Sunflower
Thick stems drink a lot of water, so top up daily. Sunflowers face the light even after cutting.
Lasts 6 to 10 days
Alstroemeria
Several flowers on each stem, opening one after another. Snap off the leaves below the waterline.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
