Hydrating preservatives reduced the vase life of 18 cultivars, including feverfew, lisianthus, ornamental pepper, pineapple lily, shasta daisy, sweet william, sunflower, yarrow, and zinnia.
Application of a combination treatment showed that the use of hydrating and holding preservatives reduced vase life in 12 cultivars.
