Idlewild Co. Field Bouquet

No, these are naturally dried flowers and should never be placed in water. Adding water will damage the stems and cause them to mold.

With proper care—keeping them out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity—these dried stems can last for many months, often up to a year or more.

Given the 12-inch height and 6-inch width, a small-to-medium bud vase or a pitcher-style vessel works best. You want a vase that supports the stems without overwhelming the bouquet's compact, whimsical shape.

While the flowers are preserved to maintain their vibrancy, some subtle softening of color is natural as time passes. To keep the colors bright for as long as possible, display the bouquet away from direct, harsh sunlight.

Dried flowers are delicate by nature. While they are sturdy enough for display, they should be handled gently and placed in a location where they won't be frequently bumped or brushed against.
