Benchmark Bouquets

Benchmark Bouquets

is a unique flower delivery service with their main online platform on Amazon. Many of their arrangements will ship in their bud stage straight from their farm. Benchmark serves as the farmers, designers, and distributors of their arrangements, helping to ensure the longest life possible for your loved one’s arrangement. Most arrangements come with a vase, so you won’t need to worry about finding a separate one.

When you select your bouquet and check out, you have the option to say “this is a gift.” If you check this box, you can fill out a personalized message for your recipient. When the flowers arrive, they’ll know exactly who the gift is from (or not, if you want it to be anonymous!) and instantly feel your love. Because their shop is on Amazon’s platform, Benchmark Bouquets has the ability to offer overnight shipping for Prime members Monday through Thursday if they’re placed before 1 p.m. EST; however, they don’t offer deliveries on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

The best option of all: Somewhere local to your recipient

Nothing says you care like sending flowers to a loved one, and it’s made even more special when you support a small business local to their area. Most places nowadays have an online ordering platform for their arrangements, and it’s as easy as searching “local flower delivery in Town, State.” Often the first few options will be larger companies, but once you find a reliable local service, you’ll be supporting small business owners while simultaneously showing someone how much you care. Best of all, the local nature of the company means you won’t have to worry about the flowers staying beautiful in shipping or overnight delivery because they’ll likely have a same-day or scheduled option.

There’s no wrong occasion for sending flowers or houseplants. If your loved one adores beautiful blooms and indoor greenery, you can always surprise them with something special delivered right to their door!

This is how to deadhead petunias and encourage new growth
Deadhead your petunias the right way
A basket of colorful petunias

Petunias are beautiful, colorful, and easy to care for. They make excellent additions to most gardens, whether they are traditional gardens, container gardens, or even hanging baskets. If you want to get the most out of your petunia plants, you might be wondering how to deadhead petunias. Deadheading, or the process of removing dead or wilted flowers, can seem intimidating if you’re new to gardening, but the process is actually quite simple. Here’s how to get started deadheading your petunias.
How to deadhead petunias

Begin by finding flowers that are wilted, dead, or dying. When petunias wilt, they begin to close back up, so looking for partially or fully closed petunia blooms is a good way to start. Be careful not to target fresh petunia flowers that haven’t bloomed yet, though! Next, you’ll want to remove the petunia flower using your fingers, a knife, scissors, or garden shears. Make sure your hands or tools are clean to avoid spreading any diseases to your petunia plant.
