Get Well Flowers

Flowers are a great way to let someone who is ill, or just feeling blue, know you’re thinking of him, even if you can’t visit him in person. They’re not only a terrific way to brighten up a hospital room, but can ease the loneliness of recovering at home. They are a simple, sincere and unobtrusive way to lift spirits, bring a smile to a tired face or brighten up a room for someone who is under the weather. In fact, they might be just the trick to cheer someone up.

FAQs about Get Well Flowers

How do I order flowers to be delivered to a hospital?

If you order flowers to be delivered to a hospital, it’s helpful to have the following ready when you call your florist:

  • The name of the hospital
  • The patient’s name
  • Room number (if possible)
  • When you want the flowers delivered

It is also good to know if the hospital has a policy regarding flowers. For instance, most urgent care and intensive care units do not allow flowers. Sometimes hospital rooms have certain display areas for flowers, but they must be a specified size. Your florist will know about the hospitals in your area.

Is it okay to wait and send get well flowers once someone returns home from the hospital?

Absolutely. While patients can look forward to home’s familiar, comfortable environment to help ease pain and speed recovery, recovering at home can be lonely. Flowers are a great way to let someone know you’re thinking of him, even if you can’t visit him in person.

Does someone who is ill have to have been in the hospital to get flowers? What if he or she is sick in bed or just feeling blue?
