Cottagecore features sunflowers, roses, strawflowers and foliage, arranged as a 360-degree bouquet. Sourced directly from our trusted growers, rest assured they’re the most extraordinary blooms around!
If some of the flowers are still budding, that’s because we send only the freshest farm-cut stems available. This means that you can enjoy them for as long as possible!
If some of the sunflower petals appear shorter or curled inward, that’s because they have yet to fully bloom. You may also notice the sunflowers turn to face the sun as they grow - a nifty process known as sun-tracking!
The roses in the bouquet are a variety called "pink mondial" that naturally have ruffled edges with a greenish tint. This is totally normal and what makes this variety so unique!
Your bouquet is safely wrapped in a hydration pack and our signature carrying carton, keeping it fresh until you put it in a vase. See our recommended instructions below to best care for your flowers.
To maximize the life of your hand-tied bouquet:
Unwrap your flowers and remove the hydration pack.
Guard petals (slightly blemished or discoloured outer petals) on the roses are intentionally left on as they protect the bloom during transit. They can be easily removed, if you wish, though we often prefer to leave them intact as they add character and make the rose open nicer!
Remove any extra leaves or foliage (if applicable) that would be below the waterline to avoid contaminating the water.
Fill a clean vase with room temperature water and add a sprinkle of the provided flower food. Hang onto the package for future waterings.
Trim the stems for best water absorption, remove the tie and place flowers in the vase.
Change/add fresh water daily, adding a sprinkle of flower food to the water each time to prolong the life of your blooms.
Fresh flowers enjoy natural light and to be in a cool, dry environment, just keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like an oven or radiator). Summer heat note: Totally bring your flowers outside to accent your picnic or patio barbecues! Don't forget to bring the flowers back inside to keep cool - humidity and direct sunlight will wilt your bouquet.
Some flowers will bloom faster than others and at different times. Remove stems as they expire to keep the others blooming bright!
