How Do You Show Fresh Holly

You can tie a piece of twine around the top, tuck in a holly branch and tie it up tight. This makes for a beautiful Christmas gift. Holly can also add a chic touch to your dinner table; place a few branches under your napkin rings, arrange them around candle bases or create a memorable centerpiece.

How do you display cut holly?

For display, holly will last longer if treated as cut flowers: cut off tips of stems under water and keep in cool fresh water. If not to be displayed immediately, store in a plastic bag at cool temperatures above freezing point. Keep away from frost and excessive heat.

How long will holly last after being cut?

Around 3 weeks (depending on how good your heating is) sounds about right.
