7 Day Freshness Guarantee
At Eflorist we only use the freshest flowers so we can offer a 7-day freshness guarantee on all our florist and courier bouquets. Provided the care instructions have been followed.
Follow these handy hints to rejuvenate your blooms after their journey and keep them at their very best
- Snip 2-3cm from each stem, be sure to remove any leaves that may fall below the water line.
- Place flowers in a clean vase of fresh water with flower food.
- To refresh your flowers, re-cut the stems every 2-3 days and place them back in a clean vase of water.
- Keep flowers away from draughts, direct sunlight, heat, and fruit.
Roses – occasionally rose heads can droop during transit. If this happens follow these simple steps
- Wrap the heads in tissue paper or kitchen roll to protect them.
- Re-cut the stems 2-3cms from the base at an angle with a sharp knife.
- Place the roses in hot (but not boiling) water for an hour.
Remember
- We only select the freshest blooms, some are so fresh they arrive in bud – by following our care instructions they’ll soon open.
- Guard petals – a Roses outer petals may appear discolored or misshapen, these naturally protect the delicate inner petals. Guard petals can be gently removed to reveal a beautiful bloom. Removing the guard petals can result in the flower looking better in the short term but can encourage the rose to perish more quickly.
- Lily pollen can stain – do not use water to remove it, let the pollen dry then brush away or dab it with sticky tape.
- Some flowers can be harmful if digested and may cause skin irritation.
