Harvesting/Vase Life:
Cut when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check for firm and lush petals at the back versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180° water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
Everyones want list includes this 4-6" soft blush-pink beauty. Great for arranging and wedding work. ‘Castle Drive’ and ‘Coralie’ are easily (and often) confused. see
