Bulk Dianthus flowers are shipped directly from our farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If you flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully.

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps. Do not remove the rubber bands holding the flowers together in a bunch. 
2. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
3. Add floral food to prevent bacteria in the water and give added nutrients to the Dianthus flowers. If you do not have flower food, it can be purchased at any local florist. 
4. Remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Leaves will mold or rot and cause bacteria to form and shorten the flower life. 
5. Cut stems diagonally approximately one inch under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
6. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water. 
7. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. Dianthus flowers may take up to 12 hours to properly hydrate. 
8. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
9. To keep flowers fresh, change water every 24 to 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy.

Remember that exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room, etc) will help the flowers to bloom, and storing your Dianthus flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Assure that your Dianthus flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

For your Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you arrange to have your Dianthus delivered 2 days before the actual event. For a Saturday wedding your flowers should be delivered on the Thursday before the wedding.
