About the flowers
Cosmos
Delicate daisy faces on fine stems, the definition of a summer garden flower.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
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
