About the flowers
Sunflower
Thick stems drink a lot of water, so top up daily. Sunflowers face the light even after cutting.
Lasts 6 to 10 days
Gerbera
Big, flat daisy faces in bright colours. Gerberas like shallow water, as their stems can soften.
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
Billy buttons
Billy buttons: perfect yellow spheres on long stems. They dry well, too.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
