Other perks include a flexible subscription schedule that can be skipped or paused as needed, and flowers that arrive in bud form to ensure maximum freshness and a longer shelf life. Frequently Asked Questions How Do You Keep Flowers Fresh? Some basic maintenance can go a long way to keep flowers fresh for longer. Make sure the vase you use is clean and trim the stems at a 45-degree angle under running water—try to repeat this step every couple of days. While you're trimming, prune leaves that would otherwise be submerged underwater to minimize rot. Feed your arrangement flower food (learn how to make your own here) and replace the water every five days. Who Has the Cheapest Flower Delivery Fee? Nothing's cheaper than free! Enjoy Flowers, Global Rose, It's By U, and Poppy Flowers all offer some form of free standard shipping, which mostly pertains to the continental U.S. The Bouqs Co. waives shipping fees for subscriptions, but charges $15 for one-time purchases from account holders and $25 for one-time purchases from guests. What Type of Flower Bouquet Lasts Longest? While any bouquet's longevity is subject to proper care, there are a few particularly popular flower varieties that won't wilt as quickly as others. Carnations are known to be long-lasting, versatile, and inexpensive, making their value unbeatable. Chrysanthemums normally last for up to two weeks and come in different variants that don't look at all like a stereotypical mum. Lilies also tend to last for up to two weeks thanks to their slow-opening flowers. Finally, orchids can hold their own for at least 14 days once cut, but may bloom for up to a full month depending on the variety. In between its blooming lulls, orchids can also be kept as houseplants. Methodology We reviewed nearly 30 flower delivery companies to determine which subscription services are best. Each brand was judged by the following criteria: Average costShipping feesSubscription plansDelivery locationsVariety of arrangementsDelivery frequencyAccess to customer serviceSustainability initiatives Services with a wide range of prices and bouquet styles in their subscriptions were given extra points in the scoring phase. Nationwide delivery was also a leading factor, as was the quality of blooms sourced and whether they were grown using environmentally friendly practices.
