Why Gift Australian Natives?

Taking Care of Your Australian Natives 

Here’s some more good news, native flowers are also easy to look after! We’ve rounded up some tips to help you properly take care and enjoy them for days on end:

Choosing the right vase
If you have received a bunch like our Australian Natives Arrangement, you can simply unwrap the flowers, make sure the stems are clean, trim the tips and place in a vase. 

We recommend you choose a sturdy glass vase or a terracotta pot, as the stems of these flowers do tend to be quite large and woody.
