Flower Delivery to Florida: Ordering, Choosing and Timing It Right

Yes, you can order flower delivery to Florida through Turboflora. Florida is on our list of delivery destinations in the USA: open the Florida page, choose a bouquet, enter the recipient's address and your card text, and pay online in rubles. The price you see is already converted to rubles and already includes delivery.

This guide is for people who live in Russia or elsewhere and want flowers to reach someone in Florida: a daughter studying in Miami, a friend who moved to the coast, colleagues in a Florida office. Below we cover how ordering abroad works, which flowers cope best with Florida heat and humidity, how to time the order across time zones, and what to write on the card.

How ordering flowers to Florida works

An order abroad is placed exactly the same way as an order within Russia. You pick a bouquet on the country or city page, fill in the delivery address and the text for the card, and pay online. There is no separate delivery line to calculate and no currency conversion to do yourself: the total in rubles is the final amount for the bouquet with delivery.

Start from the USA page if your recipient lives in a specific city. We deliver to 801 cities across the United States, and the Florida list includes places such as Miami and Aventura. If you do not see the exact town, check the neighbouring city or the Florida page itself before choosing.

Write the address the way it is written in the US: house number and street, apartment or unit number, city, state and ZIP code. Add the recipient's phone number with the +1 country code. In Florida many people live in condominiums and gated communities, so the building name and unit number matter as much as the street.

The full list of countries and cities is on the Flower delivery abroad page. That page is in Russian, but the structure is simple: country first, then city, then the bouquets available there.

Choosing flowers that handle Florida heat

Florida is warm and humid for most of the year, and summer afternoons are hot even indoors when the air conditioning cycles off. That affects how long a bouquet lasts, so it is worth choosing flowers that tolerate warmth.

Roses, carnations and alstroemeria are reliable all-rounders: firm petals, good water uptake and a vase life of a week or more with fresh water. Orchids, whether cut stems or a potted plant, are very much at home in a humid climate and are a popular gift there. Sunflowers and gerberas look cheerful and suit the bright, sunny mood of the state.

More delicate flowers such as tulips, peonies and hydrangeas are lovely but fade faster in heat. If you choose them, mention in your card or message to the recipient that they prefer a cool room, away from windows facing the afternoon sun.

Strong scent is a matter of taste. A big bouquet of Oriental lilies fills a whole apartment, which some people love and others find heavy in a warm room. If the recipient has a cat, avoid lilies altogether, because they are highly toxic to cats.

Timing your order across time zones

Most of Florida is on Eastern Time. Moscow is seven hours ahead of Florida in summer and eight hours ahead in winter, when the US is back on standard time. The western part of the Panhandle, around Pensacola, is on Central Time, one hour behind the rest of the state.

This matters for birthdays and anniversaries. If you place the order in the evening Moscow time, it is still midday or early afternoon in Miami. Think in the recipient's local date: a birthday on the 15th in Florida should be planned for the 15th there, not in Russia.

The safest approach for an important date is to order a few days ahead rather than on the morning itself, and to tell us in the order or on WhatsApp what the occasion is, so everyone involved understands which day the flowers are for.

Occasions and card etiquette in the US

Americans send flowers for the same reasons as everyone else: birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, a new job, recovery after illness, and sympathy. Mother's Day in the US falls on the second Sunday of May, which is different from Russia, so check the date if you are sending flowers to a mother in Florida.

Card messages in English are usually short and personal. One or two sentences and a signature is perfectly normal: "Happy birthday! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you. Love, Anna." For sympathy, a simple line such as "Thinking of you and your family" is considered warm and appropriate.

If you write the card in Russian, make sure the recipient reads it. For colleagues or a partner's family, an English card is usually the better choice. Signing with your full name helps when the recipient knows several people with the same first name.

Sending flowers the other way: from Florida to Russia

Many of our customers live in the US and send flowers to parents and friends in Russia. In that case the order works on the Delivery and payment terms for Russian cities: city delivery costs 500 RUB, and for remote districts and suburbs the operator confirms the price when confirming the order.

In large Russian cities express delivery takes 1 to 2 hours after the order is confirmed. You can also choose an exact time (plus or minus 30 minutes), a window of 09-12, 12-15, 15-18 or 18-21, or pre-order 1 to 30 days ahead. With an eight-hour difference, pre-ordering is often the easiest way to have flowers arrive in the morning in Russia while you are asleep in Florida.

Delivery is anonymous by default, a card with your text is free, and the courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival. You can pay online by bank card, SBP or Yandex Pay.

Getting help with your order

If you are not sure which bouquet suits the occasion, or you want to check how to spell an address or what to write on the card, message our manager on WhatsApp. The manager helps choose a bouquet, agree the address and card text, and can send a photo of the bouquet before delivery.

A good order to Florida comes down to three things: a complete US address with the unit number and phone, flowers that suit a warm climate, and timing planned in the recipient's local date. Get those right and the bouquet does the rest.
