💐 Why Your Local Florist Makes All the Difference This Christmas 🌟
Flower lovers across the UK and Ireland, listen up — there’s more behind your bouquet than meets the eye!
Your local florist isn’t just a shop — they’re supported by a whole team of experts:
Breeders who spend years developing stunning new varieties
Growers who have perfected crop science and rotation into an art form
Florists themselves, who pass along tips and tricks so every bloom reaches you at its freshest
All this knowledge ensures your bouquet lasts longer, giving you extra vase life — and that’s where the real value lies. 🌹✨
The Secret Ingredient? Beauty Sleep! 🌙
Yes, flowers need sleep too. And it’s surprisingly specific:
Roses? Around 14 hours of light, 10 hours of darkness
Gerberas? 12.5 hours of light, 11.5 hours of darkness
Every flower has its own perfect cycle. Without it, blooms get tired and wilt faster — kind of like if you stayed up for three nights straight and were expected to look fresh as a daisy.
Supermarkets often keep lights on 24/7, meaning flowers never get their beauty sleep. That's a major contributary factor why supermarket bunches look ropey after a few days, we'd all look ropey if we were up all night, every night.
. That’s why bouquets from your local florist — nurtured, timed, and handled with care — look fresher and last longer.
The Takeaway:
Buying from your local florist isn’t just about convenience or supporting small business (though that’s important!).
It’s about getting flowers that stay beautiful longer, giving your home or your loved one’s a burst of life that supermarket flowers just can’t match. 🌿💐
This Christmas — and all year round — discover the real value in florist-fresh flowers.
Stop by your local florist this weekend and order your fresh Christmas blooms for yourself or as the perfect gift. 🎄✨
