How to care
for your flowers.
Your bouquet comes with its own care instructions. Keep them handy and follow the advice supplied with your flowers, especially if your arrangement has a particular care requirement.
A lovely place to start.
Our flowers arrive in a box with a container holding the flowers and water, ready for you to display and enjoy.
Choose a stable spot where your flowers can be admired without being knocked or disturbed.
Cool, calm and out of the sun.
Display your flowers in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, radiators and fires. Keep them away from the fruit bowl too.
A drink and a little nourishment.
Top up the container with water and add the supplied packet of flower food to help your flowers rehydrate and refuel.
Follow the instructions on the flower-food packet and any care guidance supplied with your bouquet.
The little things that help
A happier home
for your flowers.
A few thoughtful choices can help your bouquet look its best.
Keep it cool.
A cooler spot in the room is ideal. Keep your flowers away from radiators, fires and strong direct sunlight.
Skip the fruit bowl.
Give your flowers a little distance from ripening fruit, which releases gas that can make cut flowers age more quickly.
Follow their care card.
Your supplied instructions are the best guide for your particular flowers. Use the flower food as directed on its packet.
For more general cut-flower advice, explore the Royal Horticultural Society’s care guide (opens in a new tab).
