Photinia Purple Peter

PHOTINIA
Jan-Dec

Young growth of this Photinia is burgundy over green on delicately serrated wavy leaves. Beautiful strong dark red branches. Mature lower leaves show deep green color. Popular foliage for color and textural interest in flower arrangements.
 

    SIMPLE BEAUTY AT HOME
    1. Cut flower stem ends to create fresh surface to absorb water and remove any faded stem base.
    2. Remove all foliage below the water line and place in a clean container filled with cool water and, optionally, floral preservative.
    3. If you do not add floral preservative, change the water and re-cut the stems every day or so.

    SPECIAL EVENTS OR GENERALLY LONGER VASE LIFE
    4. If you purchased your flowers ahead of time for a special event, cut the stems and place them in water (and floral preservative if you choose) as above.
    5. Place your flowers in an area away from direct sunlight until ready for your event. We also recommend cooler temperatures and high relative humidity if possible.
