Your Christmas flowers will wilt BEFORE December 25th if you make this mistake
Let's be honest, in Quebec, a Christmas bouquet can go from "Wow!" to "Oh no..." in 48 hours if you choose the wrong flowers. Between the heating being on full blast, the dry air, and the cold drafts, it's a real struggle.
At Fleur Québec , we deliver flowers that can withstand our local conditions. Here's how to avoid being ripped off and choose the ONLY flowers that will last until New Year's Day.
1. The 4 Christmas Bouquet Killers in Quebec (and how to deal with them)
Want a bouquet that lasts? Beware of these silent killers:
-
Thermal Shock : We're talking about -20°C outside and +24°C inside. A delicate flower won't survive the delivery journey, nor even getting through the front door.
-
Dry air from heating : This is the number one enemy of the lifespan of your flowers. It makes them wilt at an alarming rate.
-
Icy Drafts : Every time the door opens, a wave of cold hits your beautiful flowers on the living room table.
-
The Heat of Windows : Even in winter, sunlight through the window can create an oven effect and scorch the petals.
2. The 3 Quebec Holiday Heroines (They'll save the day)
Forget the delicate flowers from European catalogues. For Christmas here, you need warriors:
-
Quebec Roses (grown in greenhouses) : Yes, they exist! Roses grown locally in greenhouses are much more resistant to cold and dry heat than those imported by air. They are made for our climate, even in winter.
-
Royal Lilies : Their stems are sturdy and their flowers open slowly, offering a long-lasting display. A must-have for elegant party decorations.
-
Chrysanthemums , those underrated flowers : Don't snub them! They are incredibly resilient, last three weeks, and add volume. Perfect for a centerpiece that won't let you down.
