How do I condition my cut zinnia flowers?

Step 1: Bring a bucket of warm water (not hot!) with you to the garden.




Step 2: Cut the flower at a flower node point.



Step 3: Place the cut flower into the water immediately. This will allow them to take up water through the freshly cut stem.  



Step 4: Cut on an angle to give more surface area for the water to be taken up. Keep them out of the direct sun.


Step 5: Enjoy your cut flowers!
