• Recommended delivery date is 2 to 3 days before your event. If your event is Saturday suggested delivery date is Wednesday or Thursday.
• Delphinium is availble year round*
• Each stem features multiple blooms running the length of the stem.

• Average stem length is a minimum of 20 inches and a maximum of 27.5 inches.
• Expected vase life is an average minimum of 8 days.
  
• Delphinium flowers have a natural tendency to shed. Do not be alarmed if some buds fall off the stem upon arrival, as this is completely normal.
• Since flowers are a product of Mother Nature and due to variation in monitor resolutions, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
• Package contents and prices are based on availability and are subject to change due to weather and market conditions.
• Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is absolutely NORMAL. Please refer to our Flower Care tab on this product page for a descriptive process on care and handling instructions.

*In the event that a substitution may be necessary to make certain that your flowers are delivered on time, we take the utmost care in assuring that your order is as similar to your original flower choice as possible even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will always try to inform under these circumstances, flower substitutions may be shipped without verbal confirmation from you. 

Bulk Delphinium flowers are shipped directly from our farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepared 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 Delphinium 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. Delphinium 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. Assure that your Delphinium flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

Delphinium flowers have a natural tendency to shed. Do not be alarmed if some buds fall off the stem upon arrival, as this is completely normal. Remember that exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room, etc) will help the flowers to bloom, and storing your Delphinium flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process.
