Flower Care & Sunflowers

Sunflower stems and leaves are sensitive to contamination so you must always use a clean vase when displaying them. They are also prone to drying out so it is best to change the water in a vase on a daily basis. This will help your flowers last longer and look their best.

Keep your sunflowers in a vase filled with fresh, cool tap water and flower food. You can add a few drops of the flower food directly to the vase before placing your flowers in it. Fill a clean vase about 3/4 of the way full with the water and flower food.

Place the sunflower in the vase and make sure that the base of the petals is covered by the water. Leave a few inches of space around the stem. This will allow for the flower to open and bloom.

Treat your sunflowers with FloraLife(r) Quick Dip if they are dry packed or received in poor condition. This product is a fungicide and will prevent infection from botrytis. You may need to repeat this treatment every few days or as needed for maximum uptake.

When using a bucket to process flowers, make sure to sanitize the bottom with FloraLife(r) D.C.D.(r) Cleaner before putting them in the bucket to avoid contamination from other flowers and objects. Afterwards, place the flowers in a container that is well-ventilated and filled with a holding solution such as FloraLife(r) Crystal Clear(r) 300 or FloraLife(r) Express 200.

Then cut about 1" / 3cm off the stems with clean, sanitized clippers or knife and treat with FloraLife(r) Quick Dip. Rinse the stems with water to remove any accumulated dirt.

If your flowers are in bud form, cut them about an inch off the stems and put them in a vase of fresh cool water and floral gifts food. This will help them open up and continue to bloom for several days.

To maximize the longevity of your bouquet, recut the stems on day three. This will encourage the flower to open more and give it a more attractive outward appearance.

A good quality sunflower will reopen within a few days after being placed in a vase of fresh water and flower food. If your sunflowers have not opened up by this point, they may be wilted and will need to be replaced.
