Sunflower Posy: A Bright Gather of Sunshine, with Wine if You Want It

Our florists build it by hand in our Claremont studio, where we have been sending flowers since 1999, and you can add a bottle of local Rosendal wine to turn it into a full gift.

A posy of pure sunshine, with a bottle of wine if the day calls for it.

What Is in the Sunflower Posy

Golden sunflowers lead, big and open and impossible to ignore, gathered with a bright mix of seasonal blooms in red, pink, yellow and purple so the whole thing reads warm rather than one-note. It arrives designed in a kraft posy box, ready to display with no arranging and no fuss, which is half of why it has become such a reliable gift. If you want to make more of it, add a bottle of local Rosendal Winery Cabernet Sauvignon and it becomes a proper flowers-and-wine gift, the same idea our flowers with champagne and wine range is built on. For the same sunshine paired with a candle instead, our Sunflower Gold gift set is the sister to this one, and our Bloom and Bubble gift set swaps in a bottle of bubbly for good news.

What Is a Sunflower Posy

A posy is a small, gathered bunch of flowers, and a sunflower posy simply puts sunflowers at the heart of it, usually with a few seasonal blooms and foliage for contrast. It is meant to be cheerful and uncomplicated, a gathered burst of colour rather than a tall, formal arrangement. Ours leans generous and bright, which is why it works as an everyday pick-me-up as easily as a proper gift. Find more ready-to-give options in our gift hampers and across our gifts for her range.

When to Send the Sunflower Posy

Send it when you want to make someone smile without overthinking it. It is a favourite birthday gift, a warm thank you, and a bright congratulations for good news of any size. Customers send it to mums, friends, colleagues and dads alike, and tell us it lasts longer than they expect. For the same sunny feeling in another shape, our Here Comes the Sun arrangement and our Golden Hour bouquet carry it beautifully. And if you are choosing a gift to lift someone, our guide to online birthday gifts and our piece on the power of flowers will help you pick.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

The Sunflower Posy is made up on the morning it travels and hand-delivered across Cape Town, from Claremont and Newlands to Sea Point and the City Bowl, so it arrives fresh and bright. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and it goes out the same day, often within a few hours. Because it is a fresh posy, and because a wine pairing is an option, this one is a Cape Town delivery rather than a nationwide gift box, so it stays local and arrives in person.

What is a sunflower posy?

A posy is a small, gathered bunch of flowers, and a sunflower posy puts sunflowers at its heart, usually with seasonal blooms and foliage around them. It is cheerful and uncomplicated by design, a burst of colour rather than a tall, formal arrangement. Ours leans generous and bright.

Can I add wine to the Sunflower Posy?

Yes. You can pair it with a bottle of Rosendal Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, a local Western Cape wine, to make it a full flowers-and-wine gift. Because that adds alcohol, a posy with wine can only be delivered to someone aged 18 or over.

Where do you deliver the Sunflower Posy?

Cape Town, same day, when you order before 12pm from Monday to Saturday. Because it is a fresh posy, and the wine pairing is a local add-on, it is hand-delivered across Cape Town rather than couriered nationwide, so it always arrives fresh and in person.

How long do sunflowers last?

Expect five to seven days, and often longer, since sunflowers are one of the hardier blooms and customers regularly tell us this one lasts. Top up the water every day or two, give the stems a fresh slanted cut, and keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters. Our flower care guide has the full method.

What occasions is the Sunflower Posy good for?

Birthdays above all, where it is one of our most-ordered gifts, plus thank yous, congratulations, Mother's Day and just because. It suits mums, dads, friends and colleagues, anyone who deserves a little sunshine delivered to their door.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
