Here's a few tips on how to get the best from your cut flowers.
1 - Always put a sachet of flower food in with the water in your vase/container.
2 - Remove any foliage that will be below the water line.
3 - Cut the bottom of the stems at an angle with a sharp pair of scissors. By cutting at an angle you are giving the stem a larger surface area to take water up. Never crush them!
4 - Remove pollen from lilies as soon as the flower starts to open.
5 - Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight, draughts and radiators.
6 - Remove any faded blooms, as this will encourage others on the stem to open.
7 - Change the water at least once a week.
