How to Cut Sunflowers

If cut properly and at the right time, sunflowers will live longer in a vase of water and give color to your home, porch or office.

Things You'll Need

  • Sharp pruning shears
  • Vase
  • Water

Instructions

    • 1

      Decide which sunflowers will be cut. Choose flowers with fully-opened petals or those that are just about to bloom. They'll last longer indoors.

    • 2

      Hold the stem of the plant just below the flowerhead with one hand to balance it.

    • 3

      With the pruning shears, cut the stem at a 45-degree angle anywhere between 1 to 1 1/2 feet from the flowerhead.

    • 4

      Immediately place the cut flowers in a vase containing water.
