We have a business card with instructions on how to keep them. Don't give out very many, most know how to do it.
The way we sell them, they last a week in a vase. Some people can make it 9 or 10 days.
We sell 6 stems in a bunch for $5. Our biggest day was 105 bunches. Most ran days ran from 35 to 75. That's 3 days a week.
We had our flowers at 5 weddings that we know of. Hard to say how many went that we didn't know about. A number of men would come at least once a week to buy some to take to their wife in a nursing home! Some ladies made regular stops to buy some to take to their church for Sunday services. One lady said their church group takes them to a nursing home after the church service.
Now you can rethink selling your glads.

Another patch of glads. This was the last planting. Planted June 19th.
