Why do your flowers last so long?

While replacing regularly maintained designs at a commercial location last week, a manager pulled us aside and asked in a serious tone,"Why do your flowers last so long"? From the look on her face we could tell she was puzzled.

Having long-lasting flowers shouldn't be a puzzle.

The answer to her question was fairly simple and involves measures we take daily to ensure our customers received the freshest flowers possible.

Start with fresh. Top quality starts with fresh products that are handled with professional care. We work hard to ensure our flowers come from the finest farms in California, Hawaii and around the globe. Once at our store, they receive variety-appropriate treatments to enhance their longevity.

Chose long-lasting flowers.  For commercial designs, we often recommend tropicals, exotics and hardy California-grown varieties. The characters and colors of the flowers provide many options to create a wide variety of looks that can provide fresh enjoyment - lasting up to three weeks.  

Add water and adjust the flowers regularly. Our standing order accounts include the maintenance of the floral designs. In busy offices and hotels, the watering and maintaining of fresh arrangements can be overlooked and cause the flowers to perform less than expected.  That's why we recommend professional routine service to ensure the flowers are fresh and attractive for the duration of the display periods.

At home, customers can experience the same long-lasting enjoyment of their arrangements by adding water regularly and keeping their flowers in cool spots and out of direct sun and drafts.  

Or - we could come over and water them for you. ;-)
