Question 2

How often should I water wildflowers?

Accepted Answer

Fresh-cut wildflowers require regular maintenance and water changing. You should change the water for your wildflowers every other day to double the life of your flowers. If the water in the vase contains nasty bacterias, your flowers will feed on them and could become wilted in no time. To keep your wildflower arrangement looking prettiest, keep the flowers away from any extreme temperatures or particularly drafty spaces. This can cause accelerated wilting — effectively shortening the lifespan of your beautiful wildflower bouquet.

Question 3

How much sunlight do wildflowers need?

Accepted Answer

Every wildflower is a bit different when it comes to sunlight demands. A mixed rose bouquet, for example, requires at least 6 hours of sunlight every day. A sunflower bouquet requires anywhere between 6 to 8 hours per day. The vast majority of wildflowers require nearly half a day of sunlight to keep their natural brilliance and shape. Without sunlight, flowers can’t get the energy they need to create their own food source. The best place to put a vase of wildflowers is near a window that gets plenty of natural light.
