About the flowers
Hydrangea
Hydrangeas drink through their petals as well as stems. If one wilts, submerge the head in cool water for an hour.
Lasts 5 to 9 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
Lisianthus
Looks like a delicate rose but is far tougher. Buds further up the stem keep opening.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
Eucalyptus
Silvery, aromatic leaves that last for weeks and dry beautifully.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
