Today’s inspiration comes from the sunny weather we’re having here in Idaho! Sunflowers are recognized for its vibrant color and its natural beauty. They symbolize loyalty, faith and adoration, which make them the perfect addition to your floral arrangements. If you’re looking for flowers that can withstand the summer heat then look no further. These hardy blooms have a vase life of about 8 days (with proper care). One thing to keep in mind is that Sunflowers are affected by phototropism, meaning that their heads follow the light. With that being said, make sure the arrangement is evenly lit to prevent shifting. We offer several varieties of sunflowers, from traditional yellow with black center Sunflowers to red enhanced Sunflowers, there are plenty to pick from here! You can find the sizes we offer below. Most of the varieties are available year-round so you’re bound to find Sunflowers for your event. Sunflowers look beautiful on their own but pair nicely with flowers such as, Feverfew Daisies, Roses, Solidago, Lisianthus and more.
