Caring for Spring Flowers in Season
Fresh cut flowers in Spring require special care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Here are some tips to ensure your blooms stay vibrant:
Pro-tip: To make your blossom branches last, cut the stems on a 45-degree angle, and split the stems vertically. This will allow the water to travel up the stem to hydrate the blossoms.
