“ The great thing about utilizing local flower farms is that sourcing directly from your farmer allows you the longest possible vase life from the beginning ,” says Olson , who takes custom orders through Instagram at @ moon stoneflower . co . “ Grocery stores typically carry flowers that have been cut for a week and flown in so that by the time they reach your hands , you might be lucky to have a few good days with them .”
You ’ ve cut them , now what ?
Cut stems on a bias , trimming the ends every few days to keep them fresh .
Remove any greenery from the stem below the water line .
Use a clean vase and fill with cold water .
Drooping tulips ? Drop a penny in the vase and watch as they perk up within the hour .
Remove outer petals from roses before placing them in their new home .
Add a bit of alum ( find in the spice aisle ) to a vase of hydrangeas to revive them .
Keep flowers in a cool space away from the elements . �
