Flower Picking Tips, and Information
Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own flowers are becoming more common.
- Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
- Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life. Cool shade is best.
- Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
