Christmas Flowers, Wreaths & Mini Trees

Send Christmas Flowers Nationwide
Christmas flowers have a job no other occasion asks of them: they have to arrive on one specific day, into a house already full of people. Every arrangement here is hand-designed by Team Farmgirl, wrapped in our signature burlap, and shipped nationwide across the lower 48 states. What sits in the collection moves with the season, so check the delivery calendar on each product page.
What Flowers Are in Season at Christmas?
Winter is the flower calendar's most disciplined stretch: a short list, done properly. Ranunculus and anemones are cool-season flowers, at their strongest when it is cold, which is why they read as wintry rather than borrowed summer. Roses hold their shape in a heated room better than most soft-petaled stems. Seasonal foliage does the rest: it is what makes a Christmas arrangement read as finished rather than sparse.
What Else Is in the Christmas Collection
Not everything that says Christmas belongs in a vase. Our wreaths and swags are hand-designed with a mix of fresh and dried botanicals — eucalyptus and olive branches alongside dried lavender, strawflower, and rudbeckia — so they hold their shape long past December. Living mini Christmas trees arrive potted, with their trimmings, ready for you to decorate. Potted plants suit anyone who would rather keep a gift than compost it. All of it ships in the same window as the cut stems, so the advice below applies to the whole collection.
When to Order Christmas Flowers
Order Christmas flowers in the first two weeks of December for a delivery date before Christmas Day. Earlier than most people expect — here is why.
The real deadline is not December 24th
The last date you can order and the last date a carrier can deliver are different dates, and the gap widens as December goes on. Carrier networks hit their annual peak in the ten days before Christmas, exactly when the most people are sending flowers. Ordering early buys a choice of dates; ordering on the 20th means taking what is left. next-day delivery is our fastest option, and it still depends on the calendar.
Christmas moving through the week changes your deadline
Christmas Day lands on a different weekday every year, and that quietly moves your real cutoff. Count backwards in business days, not calendar days, then add a buffer.
- Early in the week: the weekend before eats the days you counted on.
- Late in the week: more room, but more competition.
- On a weekend: your last useful business day can be two days earlier than you would guess.
Order to the recipient's time zone and week, not yours
The delivery date belongs to the recipient. Read the calendar for their zip code, and pick a date when somebody is actually home. Flowers that land the afternoon everyone leaves for a relative's house spend the holiday on a porch. For a household that travels, the week before Christmas beats Christmas Eve.
Caring for Christmas Flowers in a Heated House
A December house is the hardest environment a cut stem faces all year, and it has nothing to do with the weather outside.
Dry indoor air is the real problem, not the cold
Forced-air heat pulls moisture out of a room, and a flower loses water through its petals and leaves faster in dry air than in humid air. The stem replaces what evaporates, so it drinks more in December than in October. Change the water every two days rather than every three, and keep the arrangement off the mantel and out of a heating vent's path. Warm water grows bacteria, bacteria block the stem, and a blocked stem cannot drink at all.
Keep flowers away from the fruit bowl
Ripening fruit releases ethylene, a gas that tells a flower to finish up and drop its petals. In December the fruit bowl and the centerpiece land on the same table — a bad combination. Give them separate surfaces. It is the most overlooked part of getting an arrangement to New Year's.
Wreaths and swags want the opposite of a vase
A wreath is not a cut flower and does not behave like one. With no stem in water, everything it lives on is the moisture already in its botanicals, so the goal is slowing evaporation rather than encouraging drinking. Hang it out of direct sun and away from heat and the fresh material dries down gradually instead of wilting. An outward-facing front door suits one better than a wall above a fireplace.

Christmas Flowers FAQ
When should I order Christmas flowers?
Order Christmas flowers in the first two weeks of December for a delivery date before Christmas Day. Carrier networks peak in the final ten days, so ordering early gives you more dates to choose from. Check the calendar on the product page for your recipient's zip code.
What flowers are in season at Christmas?
Ranunculus, anemones, and roses carry a Christmas arrangement, alongside seasonal foliage. Ranunculus and anemones are cool-season flowers at their strongest in winter, and roses hold their shape in a warm room better than most soft-petaled stems. Availability for a specific delivery date varies, so check the calendar on the product page.
Does Farmgirl Flowers deliver Christmas flowers nationwide?
Yes. Farmgirl Flowers ships Christmas flowers nationwide to the lower 48 states, which excludes Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Delivery speed varies by destination, so check availability with the calendar on any product page.
Where can I buy Christmas flowers online?
You can order Christmas flowers online from Farmgirl Flowers for delivery across the lower 48. Every arrangement is hand-designed in-house and wrapped in our signature burlap. Check the calendar on the product page to see which dates are open for a zip code.
How do I keep Christmas flowers fresh in a heated house?
Keep Christmas flowers away from heat sources and change the water every two days instead of every three. Dry, heated air makes stems drink faster, and warm water grows bacteria that block them from drinking. Trim the stems at an angle at each water change.
Do Farmgirl Christmas wreaths arrive fresh?
Farmgirl wreaths and swags are hand-designed with a mix of fresh and dried botanicals, including eucalyptus and olive branches alongside dried lavender, strawflower, and rudbeckia. The fresh material dries down gradually rather than wilting, so a wreath holds its shape well past December.
Are flowers a good Christmas gift?
Flowers work as a Christmas gift for someone who already has everything, because they are consumable rather than one more object to store. They also solve the long-distance problem: a hostess gift, a client thank-you, or a centerpiece can be sent on a date you choose.
