Virtual Florist / Flowers in a Box
A list of flower crops suitable for shipping, when harvested at proper stage and properly conditioned, cooled, and hydrated:
- Single-stem, pollenless sunflowers
- Asters
- Craspedia
- Dianthus
- Grasses
- Statice
- Strawflowers: Good for shipping; foliage may get a little damaged but the leaves are so small that it's not really an issue for most applications.
- Stock: Can be shipped dry in a box but may look very sad coming back out of the box; will need proper rehydration in a cooler and a little time to pop back to life.
- Daucus/Queen Anne's Lace: Ships pretty well; may need time to rehydrate but usually bounces back nicely.
- Amaranth: Foliage may take a while to rehydrate and may get damaged due to extended dehydration but the seed heads ship nicely.
- Eucalyptus: Most varieties ship very well; care is needed with new-growth leaves, however; if they are not hardened off they will become dehydrated, and get damaged and dry out in a box.
