About the flowers
Chrysanthemum
Tough, cheerful and very long lasting. Change the water every few days and they’ll outlast almost anything.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
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
Ruscus
Glossy, pointed leaves on arching stems. One of the longest-lasting greens.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
