About the flowers
Delphinium
Tall spikes of true blue. Delphiniums drop petals if they’re short of water, so keep the vase full.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
Snapdragon
Tall spikes that keep opening up the stem. Snapdragons bend towards light, like tulips.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Gladiolus
Tall spikes of ruffled flowers that open from the bottom up. Snip off the faded lower flowers as the top ones open.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Rose
The classic cut flower. Recut stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water out of direct sun.
