How do I care for my flowers?

Our freshly flowers are delivered still in bud so you can enjoy them for longer. If they aren’t looking their best on arrival,

they’re simply thirsty after their journey. Give them a drink, and they’ll perk up within 24 hours. It can take a day or two for your flowers to open up, but it’ll be quicker if you follow our 7 tips:

1. Clean your vase thoroughly. Any lingering bacteria will make your flowers wilt faster

2. Fill the vase two-thirds with fresh, lukewarm water and add your flower food. Top up the water the day after receiving your flowers, rather than changing it completely – this way, they benefit from the food for longer

3. Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline to avoid build-up of debris. If your flowers include roses, you may notice some discoloured outer petals. These are guard petals, which protect the inner petals. Gently remove 2-3 guard petals to reveal these

4. Trim about 2-3cm from the bottom of the stems at a 45-degree angle. We recommend varying the stem length to give your arrangement a height range

5. Change the water regularly after the second day. Just like us, flowers love clean water

6. Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight to prolong their life

7. Remove any wilted flowers. Besides not looking as attractive, they can spread mould onto the others
