Potential Harvest Yield: 5-15 stems per plant
Harvest when buds are barely starting to break open. Once the flowers open fully, they're prone to damage by weather and rough handling so frequent harvesting is recommended. For the longest vase life, immediately after harvest sear stem ends using an open flame or dip in boiling water for 7-10 seconds. Place treated stems immediately into fresh water.
