Presenting get well flowers to hospital patients has been a tradition for many years. It’s a way to wish a quick recovery and hopefully bring a smile to their face. Research indicates that get well flowers are the number one gift that makes patients happy. When considering what kind of flowers to give to a loved one in the hospital, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

The first thing you need to do is check with the facility to see if they even allow flowers or if they have any restrictions on the types of flowers you can bring. After all, you don’t want to spend money on a lovely boutique that can’t be appreciated. When considering what flowers to buy, the number one rule is to buy allergy-free flowers. Even if the patient doesn’t have allergies, there is a chance that staff members or visitors might sneeze mightely in the presence of certain floral arrangements. We recommend to play it safe and pick carnations and roses as they are low on the pollen scale.

Might we suggest you thoroughly inspect the bouquet of flowers for dirt or bugs before you bring them into the hospital. For some odd reason, hospital staff feels the introduction of bugs and dirt into a hospital setting is not a good idea. If you happen to find grime or creepy crawlies in the arrangement, a simple rinse should resolve the issue.
