Default cut flowers- lily of the valley

I wanted to give some of these I have growing, to a friend.

Is it best, in terms of durability, to cut these when in bud or when
open? Also, do the flowers last ok if they are cut at ground level
(to include the leaf).


Yes, but you will weaken the plants. Cut one or two leaves to go with
a bunch of flowers.

Any tips on making them last a bit longer?

thanks for any tips.


Mike was offering some of these and I sent him my address but nothing
has arrived.
