Sunflowers are easy flowers, but they have two quirks: they drink a lot, and their heavy heads need support. A few minutes of care on day one makes the whole bouquet last.
The First 10 Minutes
Trim the Stems
Cut 2 to 3 cm off each stem at an angle with clean scissors.
Strip the Lower Leaves
Remove any leaves that would sit under water to stop bacteria.
Fill the Vase Generously
Sunflowers are thirsty. Use clean water and add flower food if included.

Daily Care
- Check the water level every day and top up.
- Change the water fully every two days.
- Re-trim the stems a little at each change.
Where to Put Them
Choose a cool, bright spot away from direct sun, heaters and ripening fruit. Heat is the quickest way to shorten their life.
Supporting Heavy Heads
Use a vase tall enough to hold the stems upright. If a head starts to droop, re-trim the stem and make sure it can drink freely.
