8. HOW DO I BEST TAKE CARE OF MY FLOWERS?
It’s important to put your flowers in fresh water as soon as possible. Removing any lower greenery so that no leaves will sit in the water. Trim the stems every two days and change the water as well, making sure the vase is clean each time. Display your flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and fruit bowls. Some flowers will fade faster than others, removing these will help keep your remaining flowers stay healthy and alive.

While our amazing delivery drivers will try their hardest to ensure your flowers arrive in perfect condition, occasionally circumstances outside of our control, such as severe weather conditions which can negatively impact flowers. If no one is home to accept the flower delivery we always find a safe, shaded place (if available) to leave the flowers in a biodegradable cup of water unless the order is our vase arrangement. This is our policy for all deliveries including in cases of heat and extreme weather, we won’t be held responsible for any resulting damage. We recommend that either you ensure your recipient is at home to accept delivery between 1pm and 5:30pm or you provide a work delivery address in times of severe weather.
