Description

A critical moment between a flower's first bloom and its peak determines how long it will last in a vase. Miss this window, and you'll lose days of enjoyment from your carefully grown blooms.

Flower farmers Liza, Lizzy, and Kenly dive deep into the secrets of perfect harvest timing that dramatically extends vase life. They reveal why early morning cutting makes all the difference (and why noon to 3 PM is catastrophic for your flowers), plus share specific indicators for knowing exactly when to harvest everything from spike flowers to bulbs.

Whether you're growing cut flowers professionally or simply want your garden blooms to thrive indoors, these harvest timing techniques will transform your relationship with flowers.
