About the flowers
Lisianthus
Looks like a delicate rose but is far tougher. Buds further up the stem keep opening.
Lasts 10 to 14 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
Statice
Papery purple flowers that keep their colour, even when dried.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
Stock
Dense spikes with a spicy, clove-like scent. Change the water often; stock likes it clean.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
