We make it easy - simply choose a container from our rotating stock, tell us your color scheme, then let us know where it is going. We will custom-create your order with the freshest plant materials. Your container will arrive at its destination within 48 hours (or on a future date that you specify), with a card if it is a gift as well as care instructions. It’s an easy, stylish and long-lasting way to send some floral joy!
