The anemones arrive in closed  bud form. Shipping them in a closed bud form protects the flowers. Shortly after hydration they will bloom beautifully. Upon arrival  process them immediately by taking them out of the box and removing any plastic and rubber bands. Anemones are very delicate flower. 

The stems are soft and have a natural  bend to them. Have your vase or  bucket (depending on quantity  ordered) ready. Cut the bottom of  the stems at a diagonal 1-2 inches  with sharp shears and remove all  foliage that will be in the water and place them in water for hydration.

For longevity of the blooms re-cut and change the water every 2-3 days.
