🌞 How to keep Flowers fresh in the heat! A Peek Behind the Florist’s Door at The Flower Fountain

When the temperatures start rising in Stoke-on-Trent, we often get asked one big question:

“How do your flowers still look so fresh in this heat?”

Well, we’re about to let you in on a few of our secrets.

Whether you’re ordering a hand-tied bouquet for delivery or popping into our shop on Blurton Road, you can be confident that every flower you see has been carefully looked after — even when the sun is blazing.

🧊 How We Keep Our Blooms Cool

Flowers might love sunshine in the garden, but once they’re cut, they behave more like us — they don’t like getting too hot and bothered.

Here’s how we keep them looking picture perfect:

• Climate-Controlled Flower Room: As soon as our flowers arrive, they’re placed into fresh water in a cool room, where the temperature is kept just right.
• Early Morning Deliveries: We collect and receive flowers before the day warms up to ensure the freshest possible stems.
• Hydration is Everything: Just like us, flowers need to stay hydrated — we trim every stem, change water regularly, and even use a special floral tonic.
• Careful Conditioning: Every flower gets a little TLC, from stripping excess foliage to removing damaged petals. This helps them last much longer.
• Cool Vehicles for Local Delivery: Our delivery vehicle is shaded and air conditioned and flowers are packed with care, so they arrive looking just as beautiful as they left.

🌻 Flowers That Hold Up Best in Warm Weather

Some varieties love the summer — and we use them to our advantage in our seasonal designs. Look out for:

• Sunflowers
• Alstroemeria
• Chrysanthemums
• Lisianthus
• Eryngium
• Carnations

💐 Why It Matters

We’re more than just florists — we’re flower lovers. And every bouquet we send out is hand-prepared with care, no matter the weather.

We don’t believe in flat-packed postbox flowers.
We don’t use middlemen.
We design and deliver directly from our Stoke-on-Trent flower shop — by hand, with a smile.
