cala lillies in bouquets


Question
How difficult are cala lillies to work with for bouquets?  How long do they stand up before wilting?

Answer
Hello Joyce

Well flower arranging is not really my area of expertise, but from my researches I think using Calla Lillies should be very easy - they tend to have good strong stems and stand up quite well.  As for how long they will stand in a vase - that depends a lot on the ambient temperature and the amount of attention the bouquet is given.

I always find that using a flower feed (probably available where you buy the flowers, or the garden center), helps to extend the life of a vase of flowers.

I must admit that I tend to just put flowers in a vase without too much 'arranging'.  I would expect the flowers to last at least 7 days though.

Sorry I can't be more help.
