Hydrangea Bouquet in Kraft Paper

The bouquet contains: 3 hydrangeas, 3 antirrhinums (snapdragons), 3 roses, 2 freesias, 1 spray rose, 1 alstroemeria, 2 lisianthus, wrapping and ribbon.

A generous mix in shades of blue, light pink, purple and white, made up of 15 flower stems. Your mother will certainly love it, but you can give it to anyone else dear to you as well. It even includes antirrhinum, popularly known as snapdragon — a flower that, for us at least, brings back memories of childhood.

The bouquet is wrapped in natural kraft paper produced especially for this purpose. The flowers are imported from the Netherlands and South America and include hardy varieties such as Avalanche roses and Bombastic spray roses.

Caring for this bouquet is within anyone’s reach.

We include a summary of the steps to keep in mind in order to extend the life of these flowers as much as possible. Below are a few recommendations.

• A vase that is clean on the inside, filled with fresh tap water, is the first step. Make sure the water covers all the stems but does not reach the wrapping; you can twist the ribbon so that it comes out of the vase and stays in view.
• Add half of the sachet of flower food included.
• On the second day, replace the water with clean water, again from the tap. Repeat this ritual every day from then on.
• On day 3, carefully trim the stems using a thick-bladed knife and a kitchen chopping board. Add the second half of the flower food sachet provided.
• After day 4, the inside of the vase needs a thorough clean with washing-up liquid or laundry detergent.
• From day 5 onwards you may notice that certain leaves or flowers begin to wilt — remove them. If the hydrangeas start to droop, simply mist water directly over the flower heads and they will revive before your eyes.
