I wanted a little flower arrangement this morning and realised the garden is full of hellebores right now… so I ended up cutting a few and reminding myself of a few tricks that really help them last in a vase.
I usually pick the more mature flowers — the ones that have already lost the stamens in the middle — they hold much better indoors.
Then I slit the stems and put them in tepid water (not cold).
They’re such a good in-between flower this time of year, when winter is nearly over but there still isn’t much else to cut in case you are over daffodils already!
