Bulk Sunflowers 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. Remove any plastic or paper packaging from each bunch of flowers. 
2. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
3. Cut stems diagonally approximately at least and inch from bottom under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
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. 

Sunflowers may not have perfectly straight stems. Please take this into account when arranging your bulk flowers. Also, Sunflowers are affected by photoropism, meaning that their heads follow the light. Place a light directly over the sunflowers while they hydrate to help them open upward. Once arranged, make sure the arrangement is evenly lit to prevent shifting.

If your Sunflowers still are not opening after 24 hours in water, please contact our flower experts at 1-877 50 ROSES (507-6737), and they will give you some added tips on caring for your Sunflowers.

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