About the flowers
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
Sunflower
Thick stems drink a lot of water, so top up daily. Sunflowers face the light even after cutting.
Lasts 6 to 10 days
Billy buttons
Billy buttons: perfect yellow spheres on long stems. They dry well, too.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
Sea holly
Sea holly: spiky, metallic blue and surprisingly long lasting.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
