Flower Care & Etiquette

The flower I'm interested in says it's seasonal or unavailable.

We do our very best to offer a wide variety of flowers year round. Some flowers are only available seasonally, such as tulips. Tulips are available in spring months. Peonies are available during late spring/summer months for example. If you are searching for a certain flower and it shows unavailable for purchase online, please call us for availability. 

Are the flowers edible?

No. We would not recommend consuming any of our fresh flowers or plants purchased from our shop. We have no guarantee that they have been treated with pesticides or chemicals during growth to shipment and processing from us to you.

How can I make my flowers last longer?

Certain varieties of cut flowers last longer than others. Carnations, for example, can remain vibrant for long periods. Roses have a shorter vase life, but are prized for their special and delicate beauty. When buying flowers, be sure to ask us how long you should expect your arrangement to last. Whatever variety you choose, a little TLC will go a long way to keep your blooms looking fresh longer. Here are a few handy tips that can help add days to their beauty!

What is flower food? Should I use it?

Floral food is a combination of additives that help to nourish the flowers and discourage bacteria from growing in the water. It is one of the best—and easiest—ways to extend the life of your flowers. It is very important to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed floral food can do more harm than good.
