How Dads Care For Fathers Day Flower Arrangements:

For many people, a father is more than just a good man. A father is a daddy, a faithful parent, a good husband, a provider, a do-it-all handyman and so much more. For the man that wears many hats, sending flowers or gift baskets from a local florist means the world just because someone chose to say "thank you." Help Dad enjoy his special day and beautiful gift of a Fathers Day flower arrangement by sharing with him these easy care tips.

• Place stems or bouquets of fresh flowers in water as soon as possible.


• Add preservative to the water. Preservative packets can be found at local flower shops.


• Keep fresh flowers away from draft and extreme temperatures which can quickly dry the flowers and cause wilting.


• Avoid placing flower arrangements in windowsills and other areas of full sun where flowers can wilt due to overheating.


• All flower stems should be submerged in water. Decline of fresh flowers occurs much more quickly after stems have been removed from water.


• To maintain fresh flowers longer, trim the stems and change to fresh water after a few days.


• Immediately remove dead or wilting stems from fresh flower arrangements.
