Ask The Expert

How long will these flowers last outdoors?

While no fabric lasts forever in the harsh Australian sun, our stems are designed for durability. In direct sunlight, you can expect 3-6 months of peak vibrancy before gradual fading occurs. In shaded areas, they can last significantly longer.

Can I wash the flowers if they get dusty?

Yes! For outdoor tributes, a gentle spray with water is usually enough. For indoor arrangements, you can use a cool hairdryer to blow off dust or wipe leaves with a damp cloth.

Do you sell vases that fit these bouquets?

Yes, we have a range of weighted pots and vases designed specifically for cemetery ledgers. View our collection here.
