Trim your stems at a 45° angle using sharp, clean shears. (Pro tip: remove any extra foliage that will fall below the water line!)
For best results, change your flower’s water daily. It should look good enough to drink!
For happy and healthy blooms, place your flowers in a cool room away from direct sunlight.
The first thing to know is that your peonies will arrive in bud form (meaning they may look like tight balls at first) and they are shipped dry, so you may notice some of the leaves look droopy. Don’t worry! We ship our peonies this way so that they’ll last longer for you once they arrive.
Once you’ve unpacked your peonies, here’s what to do:
Tips for getting the most out of your cheerful, sunny sunflowers:
The first thing to know about your lilies is that we ship them in bud form (meaning some of the flowers will be tightly closed). We do this because the flowers will hold up in shipping and last longer for you if they arrive slightly less developed. Lilies are some of the most recognizable and most fragrant flowers that mother nature produces, so let’s cover how to care for them.
If your lilies seem to be stuck or they aren’t opening, try removing all foliage from the stems, trimming the stems again, and letting the lilies hydrate in room temperature or lukewarm water (never hot water), which can help to jumpstart them a bit.
Pro-tip: As your lilies open, you may want to remove the anther (that’s the tip of the stamen in the middle of the flower that spreads pollen) because lily pollen can stain textiles. To do this, you can trim them away with a pair of shears or just pinch them off. If any pollen gets on your clothing, you can remove it with a strip of adhesive tape, like packing tape. If any pollen gets on the flowers, you can remove it with the end of a pipe-cleaner. Just use the pipe cleaner to dust the petals off.
Ranunculus are beautiful flowers with plush blossoms that come in a wide array of colors. They do benefit from a little additional care when you keep them as cut blooms.
Delphinium is a beautiful and unique flower that grows multiple fleurets along its stalk. Some varieties unfurl into a dramatic display of blooms that are more than 12 inches long! Here’s what to know about delphinium.
A heads up about their color: Delphinium are most often seen in shades of blue, purple and white. Their color can shift a bit depending on the levels of sunshine and rain at our flower farms, so you may find that your delphinium vary slightly in their color.
Mums come in a wide array of colors and textures all throughout the year. Here’s how to keep your cut mums happy:
Pro-tip: To help prevent varieties of mums with longer petals (like spider mums) from shedding their petals, you can spray a little bit of hairspray to the bottom of the bloom. This helps the flowers to hold on a little bit.
Tulips are so exciting to keep as cut flowers because they’re really dynamic. Two important things to know about tulips is that they continue to grow after they’re cut and put in the vase – they can get several inches longer in the time that you have them. Also, they’re phototropic, which means that they’ll actually move in response to the sunlight. So, with that in mind, here’s how to keep your tulips happy:
If you find that after a couple of days your tulips are leaning over, this doesn’t mean that they’re in bad shape! Many of our specialty tulips (like double or peony tulips, or parrot tulips) have a higher petal and can become a little top-heavy as they hydrate. Plus as all our tulips grow in the vase, they sometimes begin to lean their heads over. The good news is that there’s an easy solution!
Tips for caring for & enjoying Irises:
Also if you want to open your irises more quickly, you can use the tapping trick. Peel the tips of the green foliage enclosing the flower back very gently. Then, hold the flower by its stem and tap the bud against the side of your extended pointer finger. This will help to stimulate the flower opening without damaging the bloom.
Plants thrive in moist, but not wet soil. There’s no one size fits all water schedule, so test the soil’s moisture by touching it.
Most of our plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Double check the instructions for your specific plant type!
