About the flowers
Narcissus
Daffodils release sap that harms other flowers, so florists condition them on their own before mixing.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
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
Ranunculus
Layers of thin petals on hollow stems. Give them shallow water and they keep opening.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Hyacinth
Very strongly scented. Keep hyacinths in their own water for a few hours first; their sap shortens other flowers’ lives.
Lasts 5 to 8 days
