Tips for Longer Lasting Flowers

Make sure the vase or jar that you place your bouquet in is clean.

Keep leaves above water level to prevent bacteria in water.

Trim stems at an angle, re-trimming every few days.

Change out the water in your vase/jar every 2-3 days. Using filtered water will also help keep your flowers fresh.

Keep your bouquet away from sunlight and/or ripe fruit. The cooler the space you keep your flowers in, the better!

When you notice a flower in your arrangement starting to wilt, droop or discolor, remove it.

I performed an experiment on my flowers last summer and noticed if I dropped a tablespoon or so of our honey in the water with my flowers they lasted several days longer than ones with plain water.
