Here Comes the Sun: A Big, Happy Bunch of Sunflowers

Our florists hand-tie every bunch in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews.

A Big, Happy Bunch of Sunflowers

This is sunflowers doing what they do best: turning their faces to the light. We gather several large, golden sunflowers and thread fresh green hypericum berries through them for contrast, then finish the bunch in green wrap so the colour really sings. The berries add a modern, just-picked feel, and the whole thing arrives bold and full. Sunflowers are robust, cheerful and long-lasting, holding well over a week with clean water. If you would like another sunny option, our classic Sunflower Garden Flower Bouquet is a lovely choice, while the Sunkissed Yellow Bouquet, the Yellow Gerbera Radiance Bouquet and the Blooming Sunshine Bouquet carry the same happy mood. There is more to browse in our mixed flower bouquets range, and our guide to the gerbera daisy is a cheerful read.

What Sunflowers Mean

Sunflowers symbolise adoration, loyalty and happiness, which is what makes a bunch of them feel like pure sunshine. They are named for the way they follow the sun across the sky, and that simple, hopeful image is exactly why people send them: to say I am thinking of you, keep your chin up, you make my day brighter. There is no romantic pressure to a sunflower, which makes it the perfect happy gift for almost anyone. Sunflowers are at their best in the warmer months, and our guide to seasonal blooms explains what is at its peak when.

When to Send Here Comes the Sun

Sunflowers are happiness in flower form, so send this bunch whenever someone needs lifting. It makes one of the kindest get-well flowers you can send, bright congratulations flowers for good news, and cheerful birthday flowers for someone who loves a bit of colour. It is also a lovely just because surprise for the person who could do with a good day. Sunflowers suit just about everyone, which is part of their charm.

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.
