How will my flowers be shipped? Will you include any special instructions regarding care for my flowers once they arrive?
Your flowers will be delivered the following day. This enables flowers to travel from our farm to the place of your choice in less than 24 hours, guaranteeing their exceptional quality and freshness. When the bunches arrive, make a fresh cut about an inch from the stem’s end, then submerge them immediately in cool water while they are still in their packaging. After a few hours, all stems should be taken out of any packing. After you’ve placed your flowers, it’s crucial to bear in mind that keeping them in cooler, darker spaces may delay their opening while putting them in a warmer, brighter space can hasten the process. The flowers are good with any choice, and you should handle them in accordance with your goals and schedule. Though these extremes can reduce the lifespan of your lovely blossoms, try to keep all of your flowers away from them for as long as you can.
Can I choose more than one color for my flowers? Can I request specific varieties?
Absolutely! Because our flowers are packaged in bunches, you have the option of selecting a single color for each bunch, a different color for each half of your bunches, or even a combination of all of our colors. Asiatic and Oriental lilies are sold in bunches of three stems, while Peonies are presented in bunches of five stems. Tulips and daffodils are packaged in bunches of ten stems each.
Tulips can be purchased all year long.
This week on J. Schwanke’s Life in Bloom, a fascinating historical account of people’s fascination with tulips!
Tulips have been regarded as the symbol of spring for many years, although they are now available all year round. Thanks to tremendous ingenuity, cutting-edge technology, and abundant worldwide resources, these wonderful blooms are available all year round. At the Sun Valley Flower Farms in Arcata, California, tulips are available every day of the year, 24 hours a day.
J goes to see Lane Devries, a friend of flowers, at Sun Valley Flower Farms in Arcata to see how they produce tulips all year round.
With the use of Coolers, Sunshine, and Bulbs from all around the world, Lane DeVries, the proprietor of Sun Valley Flower Farms, developed a method that enables Tulips to remain accessible all year long! Lane is one of the Flower Friends I mention in my first published book, Fun with Flowers, which won an award. Purchase it right here!
Sun Valley is able to provide the World’s Finest Tulips (soil grown in “Humboldt Gold Soil”) every day of the year thanks to a maze of coolers, a tiny temperature differential, and continuous monitoring of root production. The ideal location for Lane’s tulip farm turned out to be Arcata, California, which has a mean annual temperature of 50–60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is where Lane and the tulips currently reside.
When is the best time of year to buy tulips?
The best time to plant tulip bulbs outside is in late October and November, or even December. Tulip bulbs go on sale in supermarkets and garden centers in early September. You could believe that this is too late if you’ve already mastered the art of planting daffodil bulbs. Tulips are planted later than other spring bulbs for a reason, and this rationale is accurate.
Tulip bulbs are planted later because a few strong frosts can protect plants from a disease known as tulip fire (also known as tulip blight). The bulbs perish from tulip fire, and the leaves take on a twisted, charred appearance. Since there are no chemical remedies for this, avoid planting tulip bulbs in the same soil for at least three years if you have previously experienced this issue with tulip bulbs.
Monty Don, a gardening expert, believes that November is the finest month to plant tulips. He says: “This is, to my thinking, the most essential and best job of the month.” Although they will flower sooner the earlier they are planted, it is something that can be done at any time between now and Christmas.
It’s perfectly acceptable to purchase bulbs the moment you see them each year (you don’t want to lose out on the ideal purchase after all), but it is wise to wait a few weeks before planting them. Prior to planting, keep them in a cold, dark location.
Are tulips available in the summer?
Tulips are spring-blooming bulbs that are dormant during the scorching summer months. This implies they are unable to establish roots during the summer’s intense heat. They detest excessive wetness as well, which stresses the bulb and makes it vulnerable to fusarium, or base rot, which makes it mold and deteriorate.
But by waiting until the fall, when the temperature is pleasant and cool, the bulbs are encouraged to form their roots and remain strong throughout the winter temps. Additionally, because they alter the physiology of the bulb, these pre-set roots are essential for absorbing extra moisture and preventing the bulbs from freezing in the winter. It changes its makeup to become more elastic, producing a nearly antifreeze-like effect that shields it from the cold and keeps it safe so it may readily bloom when springtime returns. Unfortunately, there are occasions when we may fail to plant our tulip bulbs in the fall. Is there still time to plant your bulbs for spring enjoyment, even if you neglected or didn’t have any for fall planting?
Do tulips grow outside of their season?
Tulips are well recognized as a sign of spring. After the bulbs are planted in the Fall they hibernate over the winterlike most of us!
Tulips are available around June.
This list is just a small sample of some of our brides’ favorite flowers, and it is by no means an exhaustive list of all the flowers available in the summer.

Peony
Few people are able to withstand a peony’s lush, full bloom! This lovely delicate blossom, which is reportedly a favorite of the Duchess of Sussex, is available from May to July. These flowers, which come in an enormous variety of colors and fragrance kinds, scream English wealth.
