Wholesale Bulk Mini-Sunflowers - Require 7 Days Advance Notice
Sunflowers are wonderful wedding flowers, no matter what the season - Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall. Sunflowers make beautiful wedding bouquets and wedding centerpieces. Sunflowers are an excellent choice for outdoor weddings and can be used to liven up any indoor wedding as well. All you need is imagination, a little creativity, and high-quality Sunflowers to create arrangements for your dream wedding! Our beautiful sunflowers are hand-picked and shipped directly from our growers ready to bloom.
Our wholesale Mini-Sunflowers are shipped directly from the farm, making them extremely fresh! We are so sure you will love your flowers that we provide you with a 100% guarantee of their quality. Sunflowers have 1 bloom per stem, generally ranging in size of approximately 1.5 inches in diameter for the black center, and approximately 3.5" when fully bloomed. All Sunflowers are phototropic flowers, meaning that their stems and blooms bend towards light sources. It is normal for sunflower stems to bend or curve - they are not generally perfectly straight. Placing sunflowers in an evenly lit location, or with lighting directly overhead, may help your blooms open upward. Other options are to rotate your sunflowers from time to time to ensure equal amounts of light on all sides.
Once you receive your Mini-Sunflowers, remove any leafy foliage that will fall below the water line, cut approximately 1 inch off the bottom of the stems, and place them in fresh, cool water, preferably with flower food. Store them out of direct sunlight, away from drafts or extreme heat. It is perfectly normal for Sunflowers to look thirsty or "tired" upon arrival. They will perk up once they receive a "fresh cut" to their stems and have time to drink up fresh water. For best results, follow the care instructions below. We recommend you receive your Mini-Sunflowers 1-2 days before your event.
