| Harvesting Tips |
Harvest flowers early in the morning or late in the evening when they are fully hydrated. Use sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears to make a clean cut just above a leaf node or bud. Immediately place cut flowers in a bucket of water. Remove any leaves that will be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth.
