Valentine’s Day Flowers in Kyiv: One Variety, Not a Mix
A 14 February bouquet is easy to put together from “whatever is there”, but one variety in a well-chosen quantity usually says more. Below: what the number of stems says, which flowers last longer and smell softer, and how to order so the bouquet arrives in a window that suits the recipient.

How it worksWhy one variety works well on 14 February
A mix feels like a safe bet: a bit of this, a bit of that, something is sure to land. That is exactly why it so often looks like an assortment from a shop window rather than a decision. A bouquet of one variety reads at once: you knew what you wanted to give, and you did not hedge your bets. This is no verdict on mixes — on 14 February a mono-bouquet simply says it more briefly.
There is a practical reason too. Different flowers fade at different speeds: roses last 5–7 days, dianthus 10–14. In a mix you often end up pulling out the tired stems one by one, and within a few days the bouquet loses its shape. The stems of one variety tire at roughly the same pace: trim them, change the water, and the bouquet stays whole for longer.
How many stems, and what it says
A number of stems is not a code but the size of a gesture: only someone who knows the custom will read a “meaning” into it. So choose by where the bouquet will stand on the evening of 14 February. By a widespread tradition the number of stems is odd, and all three options below are.
11 stems
11
For a desk or a small table
A bouquet that is easy to carry in one hand: on a desk it will not block the monitor, and at home it will not take over half the room. Right when you want to show attention rather than stage an event.

For the living-room table
An armful that becomes the centre of the table: you notice it from the doorway, and the vase will need room. If you hesitate between modest and loud, this is the size that rarely feels either too small or too grand.

For the whole room
A large bouquet for a date you want to mark properly. Check in advance that you have a big enough vase, or better two: the stems are long — roses are typically 50–80 cm — and need a tall container.

Roses, eustoma or dianthus: vase life and scent
Three groups we suggest for this day. Which varieties and shades are in stock today is shown in the catalogue.
- Roses
- 5–7 days in a vase, stems typically 50–80 cm. The classic that needs no explaining. The scent depends on the variety, so keep that in mind if the recipient is sensitive to fragrance.
- Eustoma
- 7–10 days, stems typically 50–60 cm. It resembles a rose but looks softer and has almost no scent — a good choice for an office or a small room.
- Dianthus
- 10–14 days, stems typically 40–60 cm. A light spicy scent and an informal character: right when a rose feels too obvious. It lasts longest of the three.
How to get the delivery window you want
Variety and quantity are only half the decision; the other half is where and when the recipient can take the bouquet. Here is an order that helps:
A week ahead: online ordering opens
Online ordering opens 7 days before the delivery date — the exact day is shown above. If you need the flowers earlier, phone us about a reservation.
A few days ahead: variety, quantity, window
There is still plenty to choose from. First decide where the recipient will be that day: at work, at home or on the move — the date’s weekday is shown at the top of the page. Choose the address and delivery window to match: an hour later is better if the person is certainly there.
On the day: a photo and a call
Before dispatch we send you a photo of the bouquet, so you see exactly what is on its way. The courier phones before arriving, so check that the contact number is right.
What to write on the card
We add a handwritten card free of charge — you write the text in the order comment. For 14 February, short words without a template work well:
- “I say with flowers what I never manage to say out loud. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
- “Twenty-five stems and not one word too many. I love you.”
- “Eleven stems for our first 14 February. There will be more.”
- “For you — simply because it is 14 February and you are here.”
- “You are someone who makes even February feel warm. Have a good day!”
Not only for couples
Flowers on 14 February also work outside romance: for a friend, a mother or a colleague, when you want them to know you are thinking of them. For those cases a small bouquet of eustoma or dianthus will do: a calm choice, a size that raises no questions, and nobody feels awkward. The stem counts available are shown on each variety’s page.
What matters is that the size matches the relationship: fifty-one roses for a colleague will prompt more questions than gratitude. If you are in doubt, take one variety and add a few sincere words on the card: they will say more than extra stems.

Questions and answers
When should I order flowers for 14 February?
A few days before is easiest: there is still plenty to choose from. Online ordering opens 7 days before the delivery date; if you need the flowers earlier, phone us about a reservation. Demand for delivery is highest on the day itself.
How many stems for 14 February — 11, 25 or 51?
There is no universal rule. By a widespread tradition the number of stems is odd. As a rough guide to size: 11 is a restrained sign of attention, 25 a proper bouquet, 51 a big gesture for a special date. The price per stem is the same at any quantity, so choose by the recipient and the vase, not by arithmetic.
Can I have it delivered to a work address, in a convenient window?
Yes: we deliver to a home or a work address in Kyiv, and you choose the delivery window at checkout. The courier phones before arriving.
What can I give if red roses feel too predictable?
Try eustoma, which resembles a rose but is softer and almost scentless, or dianthus, with a light spicy scent and 10–14 days in a vase. The idea is the same: one variety in a well-chosen quantity, just without the obvious choice. The available varieties, shades and stem counts are shown on each variety’s page in the catalogue.
How long do flowers given on 14 February last?
Dianthus lasts 10–14 days, eustoma 7–10, roses 5–7. To make a bouquet last longer, change the water every 1–2 days and trim the stems at an angle. In winter, do not unwrap it at once: give it 20–30 minutes in the room. A radiator is a poor neighbour for any flowers: they fade faster beside it.
Do you add a card, and will I see the bouquet before delivery?
Yes: a handwritten card is free, and you type the text when you place the order. Before dispatch we send a photo of the bouquet so you can see exactly what the recipient will get.
