To ensure the longest vase life, follow these steps:

 

1. Add warm water and a bit of flower food into a clean vase.

2. Re-cut the bottom ¼ inch of your stems at an 45º angle under running water, and remove any leaves that will be below the water line before arranging into your vase. Do not trim poppies!

3. Keep flowers away from direct sun, drafts, fruit and smoke which will shorten flower life.

4. Remove faded blooms and add fresh water or replace completely if it becomes cloudy, adding a bit of provided flower food each time.
    

Caution: Certain flowers are considered toxic to pets or children, so just to be safe keep them out of reach in a safe spot.
