Bulk Dahlia flowers are shipped directly from our farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your 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. Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut the stems diagonally under running water approximately an inch from each stem's bottom edge.
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water. 
5. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. 
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
7. Change water every 24 hours to keep flowers fresh. Assure that your 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 Dahlias delivered 2 days before the actual event. For a Saturday wedding your flowers should be delivered on the Thursday before the wedding.
