Yes because it is nutrition for the flower. Florists offer food with sugar and other things to help them last longer. Sugar water does not work for regular plants though. It will clog their roots and stop as much water being absorbed.

How long will a flower last?

The lifespan of a flower varies depending on the type of flower. On average, cut flowers typically last anywhere from 3 to 10 days. Certain varieties, like orchids, can last much longer with proper care, while others, like tulips, may have a shorter lifespan. Providing fresh water, trimming stems, and keeping them in a cool location can help extend their longevity.

Will sugar help flower grow?

Answer: There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water. Sugar will work a whole lot better then those grocery store flower food packets. In 3 days with the packets the flowers are all worn out. With sugar they are full and vibrant.

Do flowers last longer with sugar or without?

with out sugar that's not necessarily true, I've found that in cut lantana flowers, the plants will suffer at first but then last longer than the flowers without sugar. I think it varies from plant to plant. Flowers last longer WITH sugar. Just as people last longer with food. The ideal floral solution is not "clean water", but in fact, a solution of sugars, a small quantity of acid, and ideally a bleach or other anti-microbial. I have tested this numerous times. Gingerale apparently works too. Consider though that gingerale is merely a sugar solution with added acids. (flavour) Certain flowers, such as roses, also benefit from specific hormones- available in commercial flower foods such as "rose pro", or the flora-life equivalent "rose food". Other flowers, such as Gerberas benefit from additional chorine bleach to help them absorb water and nutrients for a longer amount of time from the vase.
