FAQ

	How long will my ﬂowers last?
	Most ﬂowers will last for ﬁve to seven days, depending on the type of ﬂower and how well you care for them.
	Which ﬂowers have fragrance?
	Lilies, freesia, hyacinth, lilac, peonies, waxﬂower and lavender are just a few of the strongly fragrant ﬂowers you can enjoy at different times throughout the year.
	Why don’t all roses smell any more?
	Unfortunately, as growers bred roses to last longer and have higher petal counts, fragrance was lost on most varieties. But recently, due to high demand, growers are trying to breed the fragrance back into roses.
	What are some tips for caring for and feeding flowers?
	1. Lead those stems to water. Fresh-cut stems should not be out of water for more than two hours. 2. Snip, snip! Clip an inch from the ends of stems at a 45 degree angle, under running water, before adding them to a vase or container ﬁlled with lukewarm water. Use a sharp, clean blade (scissors will crimp the stems). 3. Feeding! Once cut and harvested, ﬂowers stop getting water and growth hormones from the mother plant – so be sure to add ﬂoral food to your ﬂowers’ water and allow to dissolve. 4. Stay cool. Flowers’ ideal temperature is between 40 and 50 degrees. Since that’s not a human’s ideal temperature, flowers are happy at anything under 72. 5. Made for the shade. Sun helped ﬂowers grow, but now it will help them wilt. Also, beware of drafts from heating and cooling vents or ceiling fans. 6. Keep those precious petals from drying out by avoiding placing them on electrical appliances such as televisions and stereos. 7. Remember to pinch or trim off spent blossoms and dead leaves. That way all the ﬂowers’ nutrients get to the healthier blooms. 8. Like all living things, ﬂowers need fresh water. Refresh water each day and change it every other day. 9. Choose wisely. For the longest-lasting arrangement, try the following ﬂowers: Astromeria - five to 10 days Lilies - five to 10 days Carnations - seven to 14 days Spray mums - seven to 14 days Dendrobium orchids - five to 10 days
