remains beautiful and fresh.

The vase life of flowers varies depending on the flower varieties used, the time of year and how they are cared for.

With the correct care, many fresh flower
arrangements will last for around 5–10 days, while some flowers can last considerably longer.

For the best vase life:

• Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Keep them away from radiators and draughts.
• Use a clean vase filled with fresh water.
• Follow the care instructions supplied with your flowers.
• Remove any leaves that sit below the water level.
• Change the water regularly.
