Top 5 Flowers That Last the Longest in a Vase

​Expressions Floral Design & Giftware – Top 5 Flowers That Last the Longest in a Vase

Nothing brightens up a space like fresh flowers — but wouldn’t it be great if they stayed vibrant for longer? At Expressions Floral Design & Giftware, Cambridge’s leading florist in the heart of Waikato, we know a thing or two about long-lasting beauty. If you’re looking for blooms that keep your home or office looking fresh for days, here are our top five picks that last the longest in a vase:

1. Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are tough and beautiful, often lasting up to two weeks with proper care. Available in a wide range of colours, they add cheerful charm to any bouquet or flower bag.

2. Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies)
These delicate-looking flowers are surprisingly hardy, lasting 10-14 days. With their vibrant colours and lovely patterns, they’re a favourite in our mixed bouquets.

3. Carnations

A classic bloom that’s anything but boring. Carnations are known for their long vase life — up to three weeks — and come in a variety of colours perfect for any occasion.

4. Orchids
Elegant and exotic, orchids last incredibly well in water or as potted plants. They’re ideal for sophisticated gifts or when you want something a little out of the ordinary.

5. Lilies
Lilies not only look and smell amazing but also offer great longevity — often blooming successively over a week or more. Just remember to remove the pollen to keep them looking pristine.

Want to get the most out of your flowers? Start with fresh blooms from Expressions Floral Design & Giftware and pair them with a thoughtful piece from our giftware collection. Whether you’re gifting a posy, designing your own arrangement, or choosing a full bouquet, we’re here to help you make it last.

 Fresh, beautiful, and long-lasting — just like the memories they create.
