How to arrange flowers in a narrow vase

Small Glazed Ceramic Vase

A narrow vase is forgiving if you follow a few rules. It suits a handful of stems and looks best when kept simple.

Use fewer stems

Three to five stems are enough. Overfilling makes the vase look crowded.

Cut to different heights

Trim stems at slightly different lengths so the heads sit at varied levels.

Strip lower leaves

Leaves under water rot quickly. Remove them for fresher water.

Pick one type

A single flower type in one colour looks stylish in a narrow neck.
