The DETAILS
Lilac is a cut branch and will last up to a week at home in the right conditions. To help your lilac branches last for longer:
- Recut each branch at a sharp diagonal angle
- Split the base of each branch vertically by about 1cm, to allow water to move more easily up the stem
- Remove all excess foliage which would sit below the waterline in your vase
- Keep branches in a cooler area, away from direct heat, sunlight and draughts
- Remember to change the water in your vase regularly and add the flower food provided
- If stems begin to drop, re-cut each branch with a fresh diagonal cut and add tepid water. This will help re-hydrate your flowers and clear any small blockages in the stems
*As this is a naturally occurring product, there will be a slight size and colour variation throughout the season.
