Eflorist’s New ‘Anti-Hay Fever Flower Bouquet’

Suffering from hay fever can be challenging at times, especially if you’re a lover of blooms. However, we have a solution - the new Eflorist ‘Anti-Hay Fever Bouquet’! This is to ensure that even allergy sufferers can experience the joy of fresh flowers in their home.

Featuring a selection of low-allergen flowers including snapdragons, roses, peonies, and daffodils, this bouquet is the perfect solution for those struggling to incorporate nature into their homes without the effects of pollen on sensitive noses.

Here at Eflorist, we believe that suffering from hay fever shouldn’t put a stop to enjoying the beauty of a bouquet, so not only are these flowers more suitable for allergy sufferers, but they also make for a blooming lovely bouquet when put together.

Each of these flowers are low in fragrance and low pollen, with the likes of peonies being pollinated by insects, rather than the wind, making it a great addition to an Anti-Hay Fever Flower Bouquet.

Hay fever can sometimes feel difficult to distinguish from a common cold. As stated by the NHS, the symptoms of hay fever include:

• Sneezing and coughing

• A runny or blocked nose

• Itchy, red or watery eyes

• An itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears

• Loss of smell

• Pain around the sides of your head and your forehead

• A headache

• Feeling tired

If you are feeling under the weather, and worried about your hay fever symptoms, visit your local GP for professional help and advice.

As with all bouquets, it’s important to take care of your blooms properly to ensure their health and growth.

1. Ensure your vase is clean

Grab a vase and give it a good wash with some warm water and washing up liquid. 

By doing this, you can prevent any bacteria from growing and give the flowers a head start to a healthy life.

 

2. Give your bouquet fresh water

After receiving your bouquet, be sure to place it in fresh water as soon as you can. 

Our flowers are normally delivered in bud, which helps them to last longer overall, so by putting them in fresh water straight away, you can watch them bloom right from the beginning.

 

3. Cut the stems

This step needs to be done before you place the flowers in your vase.

Ensure you cut the flowers once every few days, roughly an inch from the bottom and at an angle. This increases the surface area and allows the flower to take in more water.

 

4. Remove the pollen stems if needed

Whilst this bouquet is specially designed to be suitable for allergy sufferers, there is always a chance of a pesky pollen particle appearing.

If this is the case, you can easily remove the pollen stems from the flower - but we’d advise getting a friend or family member who doesn't suffer from allergies to do this for you!

To do this, simply pluck the pollen stems out of the flower, and dispose of them.

 

5. Don’t forget the aftercare!

Whilst these first few initial steps are important to ensuring the growth of your bouquet, it’s important to not neglect them once they start to flourish.

Be sure to keep the water clean and fresh and change it every few days if you need to to prevent any bacterial growth.

As well as this, remove any dead flowers or leaves and prevent the foliage falling below the waterline as these can start to rot, and create harmful bacteria which will shorten the lifespan of your bouquet.

We also feature a range of low-pollen and low-fragrance bouquets that may be suitable for those who suffer from allergies.
