Why lisianthus suit a birthday
In the language of flowers lisianthus stand for appreciation, romance, charisma. Often mistaken for a rose or a peony, lisianthus brings appreciation and quiet romance — an elegant, less obvious birthday choice.

Which colours to pick
Blush, lavender and white read soft and refined; a picotee (edged) variety adds interest without shouting. The strongest choice of all is the recipient's own favourite colour — it turns a nice bouquet into a personal one.
When lisianthus are at their best
Best in summer and one of the longest-lasting cut flowers at 10–14 days, so the gift stays beautiful well past the day. Expect roughly 10–14 days in the vase with fresh water and a cool spot.
How many to send, and how
Each branching stem carries several blooms and buds, so a modest bunch fills a vase generously. A morning delivery works for the whole day; sending to a restaurant mid-celebration doesn't — the bouquet spends the evening under the table.
