About the flowers
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
Stock
Dense spikes with a spicy, clove-like scent. Change the water often; stock likes it clean.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
Lisianthus
Looks like a delicate rose but is far tougher. Buds further up the stem keep opening.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
Eucalyptus
Silvery, aromatic leaves that last for weeks and dry beautifully.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
