non-messy long lasting cut flowers

juliebw
13 years ago

I just purchased two Heliopsis Prarie Sunset plants because a friend gave me some in a boquet, and several flowers have lasted in the vase over FOUR weeks. Also, when the flowers and leaves expire, they stay on the stems instead of falling off. Are there other plants that have these qualities?
