Sunflowers Care
Sunflowers have naturally arched necks and look best in a tall narrow vase. They are best displayed so that there are only a few inches of stem that shows above the rim of the vase.
-
Remove the leaves below the water line.
-
While holding the stem under water, cut 2 to 3 cm off the stems. Do not let the freshly cut stem dry out.
-
Fill a vase with water and add the flower condition, which came with your bouquet.
-
Place your sunflowers in a tall vase to provide adequate support for their height.
-
If possible leave your flowers in a cool dark room to condition for a few hours after arranging.
-
Temperature is an important factor in the vase life of these flowers. So display your fresh cut sunflowers in a cool area, out of direct sunlight and away from drafts and heat.
-
Remove spent leaves to keep bouquet looking fresh longer.
-
Keep you sunflowers well hydrated as this helps to support their heavy head weight.
