Tagetes Marigold

This bloom is a bright, hardy plant with vibrant orange color. It thrives in full sun and helps repel garden pests, making it a favorite for gardens and containers.

For Care & Conditioning:

• Use a lean vase.
• Hold each carnation next to the vase to determine how much of the stems to remove.
• Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle so it’s easier for the flowers to absorb water and stay healthy.
• When cutting stems, cut them under water to prevent nasty air bubbles.
• Don’t forget to drop the included flower food in your vase of carnations.
• Recut the stems each time you change the water and get rid of any leaves that dwell under the waterline
• Don’t put your carnations in an area that has abnormal heat sources, direct sunlight or cold drafts from the A/C.
• Give your carnations room-temperature water to sip on.
• Change the water at least every two days and remember to re-cut your stems each time you do.
• To fight off bacteria, add 1/4 tablespoon of bleach per liter of water in the vase.
• If you are out of flower food, you should use one tablespoon of sugar to keep your carnations feeling in tip-top shape.

Mayflower Market flowers are sold in bunches as indicated above and wrapped in brown paper, tied with raffia (very much similar to flowers purchased from a street vendor or market in Europe) and delivered to you ready to pop into your favorite vase & brighten up your home or workspace.
