About the flowers
Hydrangea
Hydrangeas drink through their petals as well as stems. If one wilts, submerge the head in cool water for an hour.
Lasts 5 to 9 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
Sea holly
Sea holly: spiky, metallic blue and surprisingly long lasting.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
Baby's breath
Baby’s breath: clouds of tiny white flowers. It fills gaps and dries well.
Lasts 7 to 14 days
