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
Chrysanthemum
Tough, cheerful and very long lasting. Change the water every few days and they’ll outlast almost anything.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
Tulip
Tulips keep growing in the vase and bend towards the light. Cool water and a tall vase help them stand.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Hypericum berries
Glossy berries on green stems. Not edible, but long lasting and full of texture.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
