Our West Wickham florists believe every flower deserves thoughtful care. Here’s how to help your bouquet last longer and look its best:
West Wickham enjoys a distinct seasonal cycle, and flowers respond differently as the weather changes. Our local florists tailor their arrangements and care advice to suit the time of year, ensuring you get the best out of every bouquet.
Spring brings a wealth of delicate blooms — think tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths. These flowers thrive in cool conditions. Make sure to change their water often and keep them away from any warm radiators or sunny windowsills. For mixed bouquets, separate daffodils for the first 24 hours to avoid their sap affecting other varieties.
With the warmer West Wickham summer, flowers can wilt faster due to higher temperatures. Refresh water daily, and mist petals lightly with clean water to maintain hydration. Keep summer arrangements out of direct sunlight. Hydrangeas, sunflowers, and peonies are especially prone to drooping if they overheat — use deeper water and consider trimming stems again mid-week for a longer vase life.
Autumn arrangements often feature roses, dahlias, and chrysanthemums. Lower temperatures mean your flowers last longer, but central heating can still be an issue. Place your autumn bouquet away from radiators and ensure even hydration. Remove any faded blooms promptly to prevent mould.
Winter in West Wickham calls for rich, robust stems like amaryllis, lilies, and holly. These handle temperature dips but may be sensitive to drafts. Avoid placing vases near entryways or windows that let in cold air. Shorter daylight hours can help prevent fading, but still check water levels regularly — household heating dries out arrangements quickly.
