Want to enjoy your snapdragon flowers in a bouquet?
Snapdragons make great cut flowers and can last for several days in a bouquet if properly cared for. Here are some tips for prolonging the life of snapdragons in an arrangement.
Cut snapdragons in the early morning or later in the day. They should be cut when the flowers are just starting to open. Avoid cutting them in the heat of the day.
Immediately place snapdragon cuttings in fresh room-temperature water to keep the flowers hydrated before arranging.
Leave the stems in water for several hours to allow the flowers to condition themselves to life in a cut flower arrangement.
Remove any leaves that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria growth.
Add flower food to the water to help extend the life of the flowers.
Keep the bouquet in a cool location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to help the flowers last longer.
