About the flowers
Dahlia
Dahlias don’t open further once cut, so they’re picked fully open. They’re at their best from late summer to the first frost.
Lasts 4 to 6 days
Anemone
Anemones open wide in warmth and close a little at night. They keep growing slightly in the vase.
Lasts 5 to 8 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
Hypericum berries
Glossy berries on green stems. Not edible, but long lasting and full of texture.
