Keep Your Flowers Fresh

A quick care guide just for you

Beautiful fresh flower arrangement with roses, peonies and eucalyptus

Hello, Sarah

Your blooms are home — now let them shine.

Thank you for your order. Your arrangement includes garden roses, white peonies, and fresh eucalyptus. Follow these simple tips to keep everything looking beautiful for up to two weeks.

5 Easy Care Tips

Trim stems at an angle

Cut about an inch off each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing in water. This opens up more surface area for drinking.

Change the water every two days

Fresh, clean water prevents bacteria buildup. Rinse the vase each time and add the included flower food packet.

Keep away from direct sunlight

A cool, shaded spot is ideal. Avoid windowsills in direct sun or near heating vents.

No fruit nearby

Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas which speeds up wilting. Keep your arrangement away from the fruit bowl.

Remove wilted blooms promptly

Removing spent flowers keeps the rest of the arrangement fresher for longer. Your peonies may open fully within 48 hours — that is completely normal.

A note on your eucalyptus

Eucalyptus does not need to be in water — it actually lasts longer when left to dry naturally. Feel free to keep a sprig or two out of the vase as a standalone accent.
