With proper care, our fresh flower bouquets typically last 7-10 days. We include care instructions with every bouquet to help you maximize their beauty and longevity.

Use flower food, place them out of direct sunlight or heat, and change the water every 2–3 days to prevent bacterial growth.

The top of the tuber should sit roughly 4 inches below the surface once covered. Firm the soil down to eliminate air pockets and give it a thorough initial watering, but don't overwater as that can rot the tuber.  We include detailed planting instructions with every tuber order.
