Buying flowers from Walgreens

Flowers can elevate moods and emotions, and show people that you care about them. Imagine receiving a bouquet of roses from a loved one, orchids from a friend, or daisies when you feel down; such a gesture can improve your mood quickly. 

Walgreen sells fresh flowers for special occasions like Mother or father’s day, Valentine’s Day, or seasons when there is a high request for such. Not all Walgreen stores sell flowers periodically, so you have to contact the customer support of the nearest Walgreen store to you and find out whether or not you can get specific flowers from them. 

You can buy flowers in two ways from Walgreens; walk into their store and select a bouquet or potted flower, or place an order online through third-party delivery services like Instacart and DoorDash, and have it delivered to you on the day you choose.

How much does Walgreen sell flowers?

The price of flowers in Walgreens varies with type and store. Each bouquet contains a dozen blooms; however, you can have yours customized, but this will influence the cost.

Can I return flowers purchased from Walgreens?

Walgreens has a return policy, which says you can return any item bought from their stores within 30 days of the date of purchase with the receipt and get an exchange or a refund. Once it exceeds this time, the return window closes; however, this return policy does not cover seasonal items, so you may have to call the manager at your Walgreens store to find out if flowers fall under this group or if they can make an exception.

How can I tell good Walgreens flowers?

If you don’t know how to select the best flower blooms, you may buy a defective bouquet that will deteriorate faster than you expected. Flowers like orchids, if selected well and given the right care, can live for almost a hundred years. So, here are some tips on how to choose good flowers from Walgreens (and other floral shops).

Inspect the petals to ensure that there are no discolorations. For instance, brown spots in flower petals indicate that they were not cut properly, while dried black ends show that the flowers are almost at the end of their life span. For roses, their leaves should be green and not yellowEnsure that the stems are wet, which shows that they had been stored in waterChoose flowers whose bulbs are tightly closed and haven’t bloomed yet.

Final thought

Where words may fail, flowers do not. Whether you want to make yourself or someone else feels special with flowers on a special occasion like valentine’s, mothers’, or fathers’ Day, Walgreens has got you covered.
