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
Sea holly
Sea holly: spiky, metallic blue and surprisingly long lasting.
Lasts 10 to 14 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
Delphinium
Tall spikes of true blue. Delphiniums drop petals if they’re short of water, so keep the vase full.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
