How long will my flowers last?

We work with local florists who handcraft each arrangement with care and attention to freshness. While flowers are fleeting by nature, with the right love and care, you can enjoy their beauty for longer.

So, how long can you expect them to last?

That depends on a few things:

• The flower type: Some blooms naturally last longer than others. For example, alstroemeria and chrysanthemums are long-lasting champions, while others like snapdragons are a little more delicate.
• How you care for them: Giving your flowers a fresh vase of clean water, trimming the stems every couple of days, and keeping them out of direct sunlight can make a world of difference.
• The environment: Flowers love a cool space away from direct heat, bright sun, and ripening fruit (yes, fruit emits a gas that can age flowers faster!).

A few quick tips to help your flowers last longer:

• Refresh the water every day or two.
• Trim the stems at a slant to help them drink better.
• Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline.
• Keep them away from heat, sun, and drafts.
• Remove wilted blooms to help the rest thrive.

While some flowers may last just a few days and others over a week, we hope every bouquet brings maximum joy during its time with you.
