When cutting, cut deep into the plant to encourage branching and long stems for future growth. Strip off any foliage that would fall below the water line of your vessel to prevent bacteria growth in the water. Adding flower preservative in the water will prolong their vase life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDried: Harvest in same manner as with fresh flowers. Hang to dry in a dark, well-ventilated area.  When harvesting for dried flowers, it is particularly important to avoid over-mature blooms because they will continue to open during the drying process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lily Stone Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155830358252,"sku":"201968","price":6.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/6930\/9354\/files\/CopyofSeedPhotoBox_8.5x11in_9x9in_41.png?v=1767647311","url":"https:\/\/shop.lilystonegardens.com\/products\/strawflower-apricot-peach-seed","provider":"Lily Stone Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
