Flowers are a crowd-pleasing gift; a burst of colour exploding into your home and unleashing the smell of spring with every gust of fresh air. And while they are always and inevitably fleeting, a bit of nurturing and the right vessel can certainly help them last longer.
“Different flowers have different needs,” says Emily Bayliss, founder of the Notting Hill-based floral art studio June in March. “The amount of water required isn’t the same for every stem. For example, seasonal flowers like anemones, ranunculus and tulips do best with only a little water, as too much can shorten their life. So choosing the right vessel is both about what feels right visually and what helps the flowers live beautifully for as long as possible.”
