Start with a clean vase! Give it a good scrub.

Fill ‘er up. Flowers drink from their whole stems. Fill up your vase as much as possible.

Refresh the water every few days. You can also recut the ends of the stems as well. Just make sure to use sharp and clean clippers.

Keep your flowers in spots that are cool and not in direct sunlight.

Pull out stems as they have passed their peak and rearrange the remaining. Walk around your yard and cut a few interesting additions to fill in any gaps.

Enjoy the process of falling petals and nodding heads. It’s part of the magic of having cut flowers in your home.
