How To Care
For Your Flowers
Keep Those Blooms Happy!
We want your flowers to look farm-fresh for as long as possible! Here’s how to give them the love they deserve:
Snip, Snip! - Trim about 1/2 inch off the stems at an angle with clean, sharp scissors or sheers before placing them in water.
Fresh Sip Daily – Use a clean vase and fill it with cool, fresh water. Add any flower food provided, or make your own by adding a pinch of sugar (for food) and 1–2 tiny drops of bleach (to keep bacteria away).
No Leafy Baths – remove any leaves that sit below the waterline as they can cause bacteria to grow.
Keep it Cool – keep flowers away from direct sun, heaters, or fruit (fruit releases ethylene gas, which can make flowers fade faster.).
We love to see your bouquets in the wild! Tag us on social media with those gorgeous blooms.
How Long Will My Flowers Last?
Every flower has its own personality — some are here for a quick burst of beauty, while others like to linger a little longer. Here’s what you can typically expect with proper care (fresh water, clean vase, trimmed stems):
Zinnias: 7–10 days
Sunflowers: 5–7 days
Snapdragons: 5–8 days
Gladiolus: 7–10 days (blooms open from the bottom up, pick spent blooms to look fresh longer)
Peonies: 5–7 days (sometimes longer if harvested in bud stage)
Bells of Ireland: 7–10 days
Roses: 5–7 days
Lisianthus: 10–14 days
Dahlias: 4–6 days
Cosmos: 4–6 days
Strawflower: 7–10 days (and they dry beautifully afterward)
