For our freshest, most beautiful blooms, please shop our Florist’s Choice options, as we may be experiencing
delays in receiving shipments of certain flower types.
Please note that for all other orders, we may need to replace stems so we can deliver the freshest bouquet possible, and we may have to use a different vase.
We promise to always deliver a fresh, beautiful, and completely one-of-a-kind gift of the same or greater value as what you selected.
Deliveries may also be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. Rest assured that we are taking all recommended precautions to ensure customer satisfaction and safety.
Delivery impacts may include:
Restricted deliveries to hospitals or nursing homes
Restricted deliveries to office buildings
Restricted access to certain regional areas
In addition, we may be using “no contact” delivery procedures. After confirming that the
recipient is available to accept, their gift will be left at the door and the delivery driver will step back a
safe distance to ensure they receive their gift.
Please see our About Us page for more details. We appreciate
your understanding and support!

Sunflowers symbolize happiness, optimism, loyalty, and adoration. Their sunny appearance makes them perfect for cheerful occasions at Blushing Flowers. Many Bradenton customers choose sunflowers to brighten someone's day, express admiration, or simply spread joy with nature's happiest flower.
While Blushing Flowers sources sunflowers year-round for Bradenton, FL delivery, peak season runs June through October. Summer and fall sunflowers are most abundant and affordable, though we can create beautiful sunflower arrangements any time of year.
Sunflowers from Blushing Flowers typically last 7-10 days with proper care. Remove leaves below water line, cut stems at an angle, use flower food, and change water every 2-3 days. Sunflowers are remarkably hardy, maintaining their cheerful presence longer than many delicate flowers.
