Tips:

Keeping Cut

Flowers Fresh

While you can't bring cut flowers back to life, here are some tips for keeping them looking fresh longer. Flowers keep best when cut with a sharp knife (un-serrated) and plunged immediately into water. Always make a cut on a slant, as it exposes more stem surface area. Also, remove leaves that will be under water in the arrangement, but do not remove thorns from roses as it tends to shorten their life. Remember to:
  • Use plain, lukewarm water for most cut flowers, but use cold water for bulb flowers, such as daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips.
  • Change the water every 2 days -- don't just top it off. This is the single most effective thing you can do to keep your flowers looking fresh.
  • Keep flowers out of direct sunlight, and move them to a cool place at night.
  • Give daffodils their own vase -- daffodil stems give off a compound that is toxic to other flowers.
  • Keep cut flowers away from fruit, which releases a gas that causes flowers to age faster.

Seasonal

Flowers

Our floral department at the Grand Food Center well understands that flowers and seasons are intimately bound to one another. Spring flowers, for example, include roses, tulips, orchids and peonies, while lilac, irises and many varieties of lilies are summer bloomers. Whichever the season, we take great pride in providing to our customers the freshest, most seasonal flowers available from our Canadian growers.
