Many folks want to know how long should their flowers last.
Well, that depends. There are a lot of factors to consider to when answering this question.
Some flowers varieties will last longer than others. For instance, mums and carnations are very long lasting (Often a couple of weeks or more.), while spring flowers like daffodils are beautiful for about a week.
Where you buy flowers matters too. Good fresh flowers from your local florist are carefully cared for throughout the process of growing, shipping, storing and selling.
Another consideration is how the flowers are handled after you’ve bought them. By carefully cleaning off any submerged foliage, using flower food, cutting the stems with a sharp knife, and keeping the vase filled with clean water you give your flowers optimum conditions for longevity.
And finally, where you display your flowers makes a difference too. A cool location, out of the sun will prolong vase life.
So with these thoughts in mind … “Keep it cool, keep it clean, keep it out of the sun.” … enjoy these jewels of nature!
