Sweet Peas for Cut Flowers
Give someone a bouquet of sweet peas and you will be guaranteed to receive a smile in return. The best sweet peas for cutting and displaying in a vase or bouquet are typically those varieties that have longer stems. Good cultivation will also play a part in how long a stem you get but for the most part, the varieties listed below will give you a stronger and longer stem.
Growing sweet peas for cut flowers means that you need to give your plants the best conditions possible (placement, nutrients, moisture and starting them at the right time for your area) so that you get the healthiest blooms possible. Check out my tips on sweet pea cultivation.
Originally used as a tool to mold and press cigars, we have reworked this beautiful object to present your sweet pea flowers or other seasonal blooms effortlessly.
These wooden and vintage pieces were used to press cigars - the rolled tobacco leaves being placed in the cavities inside. The second half of the mold would then be added, pressing and sealing the cigars. We have reworked the press by enlarging the original holes so that the glass test tubes can be inserted. The two halves have been bonded together, producing a beautiful, stylish, industrial display piece.
Select your favorite flowers and place single stems of varying heights in each glass tube for the best results.
This wooden vintage cigar press will make beautiful table center or use it to dress the mantle piece in your home. A delightful talking piece to show off your sweet peas or other flowers.
Glass test tubes included.
Please note, each piece is vintage and therefore possesses its own unique characteristics, including variations in tone and individual markings, which only enhance its character. As is typical of original vintage industrial pieces, imperfections such as marks, dents, dings and blemishes contribute to its inherent charm.
