Bulk Sunflowers were shipped directly from our farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully.

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps. Remove any plastic or paper packaging from each bunch of flowers. 
2. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
3. Cut stems diagonally approximately at least and inch from bottom under running water with sharp scissors or knife. Wear gloves while preparing the flowers, as the tint may seep from the stem and temporarily stain hands and/or clothing.
   
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water.
5. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. 
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
7. Change water every 24 hours to keep flowers fresh. Expect for the water color to change because of the tint. This is normal. Simply change water as directed to keep flowers fresh. Also, assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

Please note, Sunflowers follow the sun and may not have a perfectly straight stem. So please take this in account of when arranging your bulk flowers.
