How to Choose Fresh Cut Flowers

Fresh flower stems should feel firm and strong. Avoid stems that look slimy, mushy, or brown, as these can be signs that the flowers are past their prime.

Choose flowers with vibrant, healthy-looking petals. They should feel firm and look hydrated rather than wilted, bruised, or heavily spotted.

Fresh green leaves are a good sign. Avoid flowers with yellow, brown, or drooping leaves, which may indicate that they've been sitting around for a while.

For many flowers, choosing blooms that are still partially closed can help you enjoy them longer. The buds should look healthy and show the flower's natural color.

If you're buying flowers from a bucket, take a quick look at the water. It should be clean and fresh-looking, not cloudy or filled with leaves and debris.

A little attention to the stems, petals, leaves, buds, and water can help you choose flowers that look beautiful and last longer. When in doubt, your local florist can also help you pick the freshest seasonal flowers available.
