Dahlias are naturally delicate flowers and may occasionally appear soft or droopy after transit. This is usually temporary dehydration and they often recover well after conditioning.

On arrival:

— Remove all packaging carefully.
— Recut approximately 2cm from the base of each stem using clean, sharp floral snips.
— Place immediately into a clean vase with plenty of fresh water and flower food.
— Leave the flowers to hydrate in a cool place for several hours before arranging.
— Refresh the water every 2–3 days and recut the stems if required.

If your dahlias arrive droopy

Don’t panic. Recut the stems and place them into plenty of fresh, clean water. Leave them to hydrate in a cool place for several hours — they will often perk up beautifully.

Our fresh flowers are seasonal, so availability can change throughout the year.

British-grown flowers in particular follow their natural growing season, and exact timings can vary depending on weather and growing conditions.

Some colours, varieties or stem lengths may also be available for a shorter period than others.

If a flower becomes unavailable, we may temporarily remove it from sale until fresh stock returns.

For weddings, events or larger orders, we recommend ordering as early as possible.

If you need flowers for a specific date, please contact us before ordering and we’ll be happy to check availability for you.

Fresh flowers are a natural product, so no two stems are ever exactly the same.

Small variations in colour, size, shape and stem length are completely normal and are part of the beauty of fresh flowers.

Please note:

• Colours may vary slightly from the images shown.
• Flower head size and stem length can differ depending on the season and growing conditions.
• Some flowers may arrive more open or more closed than pictured.
• Natural markings, curves and differences in shape can occur.
• Weather and seasonal conditions can also affect the appearance of fresh flowers.

We always select the best available flowers and aim to match the product images as closely as possible.
