With proper care sunflowers can last up to 2 weeks! Follow the step buy step guide below.
Water Line
Make sure all leaves are cut off below the water line.
Cut
Cut a small section of the stem again (best to do under water) to ensure a healthy flower. Pro-tip: cut the stem at an angle.
Fresh Water
Place them in new, fresh water (not the water given from the festival if there is any left)
Juice & Vinegar
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and/or 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water to keep your flowers looking vibrant and healthy. This helps delay sunflowers from wilting.
Exposure
Make sure your sunflowers are not exposed to direct sunlight, cool drafts or heat. After cutting, sunflowers don’t enjoy the sunlight as much as planted in the field.
Check-In
Check your stems and water frequently (daily) and re-cut them and change your water solution to ensure healthy sunflowers!
