Which bouquets withstand the heat best?

WHICH FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS
HOLD UP BEST
IN EXTREME HEAT?

TIPS AND SELECTION FROM THE BOUVARD FLEURS ONLINE SHOP
 
When temperatures rise, not all flowers react in the same way. Some wilt quickly, whilst others retain their freshness and vibrancy for longer, even during heatwaves. At the Bouvard Fleurs online shop, we select bouquets designed to withstand high temperatures better, whilst ensuring optimised express delivery.

THE HARDIEST FLOWERS IN SUMMER

During periods of high temperatures, certain varieties are particularly recommended for their exceptional performance:

🌸 Hardy, summer-flowering varieties:

• Carnations: very hardy, they cope well with the heat and last a long time in a vase
• Chrysanthemums: particularly hardy, they stay fresh even in high temperatures
• Altromeria: elegant and hardy, they last for several days even in summer
• Lisianthus: refined and delicate in appearance, yet surprisingly heat-resistant
• Gypsophila: light and long-lasting, it adds volume and structure to summer arrangements
• Sunflowers: perfect for summer, they thrive in the heat and remain vibrant

EXPRESS DELIVERY TO ENSURE FRESHNESS

At Bouvard Fleurs, we have put in place a delivery system designed to minimise heat stress on the flowers as much as possible:

• Bouquets are prepared at the last minute
• They are dropped off at the post office at the end of the day
• They are then delivered before 9am the following morning

👉 The aim is simple: to minimise the time the flowers spend in their boxes and avoid prolonged exposure to heat.

This approach ensures that bouquets arrive at your customers’ doors in the freshest possible condition, even in the height of summer.

HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BOUQUET DURING A HEATWAVE?

Une fois le bouquet livré, quelques gestes simples permettent de prolonger sa durée de vie, même en cas de fortes chaleurs.

1. Find the right spot

• Avoid direct sunlight at all costs
• Keep away from windows that get a lot of sun

Do not place near a heat source (oven, radiator, electronic devices)

2. Change the water more often

• Change the water in the vase every 1 to 2 days
• Use cool (not ice-cold) water
• Clean the vase to prevent bacteria build-up

3. Trim the stems

• Cut 1 cm at an angle every 2 days
• Use clean secateurs or a sharp knife
• Remove any leaves submerged in the water

4. Tips for hot weather

• Add an ice cube to the water in very hot weather (in moderation)
• Lightly mist the flowers in the morning
• Place the bouquet in a cooler room at night if possible

CONCLUSION

In summer, the choice of flowers and the quality of the logistics are essential to ensuring a long-lasting and elegant bouquet. Thanks to varieties selected for their hardiness and an optimised express delivery service, Bouvard Fleurs guarantees arrangements that retain their freshness, even in high temperatures.

With a few simple steps at home, your bouquets can stay vibrant for several days, even in the middle of a heatwave.
