Filler Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Queen
Anne's Lace fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cold water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each Queen Anne's Lace stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: Related to
carrots Queen Anne's Lace is an inexpensive filler
flower. It is very susceptible to ethylene damage. Queen
Anne's Lace can be dried in a warm, dry, dark area and used
in dry arrangements or crafts. Spraying the dried plant with
fixative will remove some of its brittleness.
Queen Anne's lace is a long bunch measuring up to 36" in length.
There are two varieties available in the floral trade, green and
white. Flowers heads are basically the same but the foliage is
different. Green Queen Anne's Lace has fine delicate looking
foliage while white has foliage with larger leaves. Queens Anne's
Lace is usually sold in a 10 stem bunch.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Queen Anne's Lace
with each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent
bacteria growth, aids in keeping vase water clear, and feeds your flowers
and foliages insuring a longer vase
life.
To make your own cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table
sugar to a quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
