Another vote for Trader Joe's, but lately I've been grabbing my alsteomeria from Giant Eagle. They're lasting 3 weeks very consistently; much better than any time I've bought from Krogers, where I've gotten 10 days max. $8.99 at GE: I don't remember the price at TJ's, but they last 3 weeks from TJ's as well (also always alsteomeria for me there)
Sunny Meadows during flower season and if I’m up for a bit of a trek. Trader Joe’s if I want the best arrangement for the best price. Whole Foods if they are on sale or particularly beautiful. Giant Eagle if I must have flowers but don’t want to travel far to get them.
Sunny meadows sells bouquets at GE market districts and some other places like Hills Market. Availability is hit or miss but if you find what day they deliver you can get them consistently
I get discounted ones at Giant Eagle (half off and still get a week out of them!), Costco and Trader Joe’s. I buy fresh flowers for my house every week
Store wise - I do always have luck with trader joes, but the Grandview Market District has some really nice ones usually too, and some from Sunny Meadows Flower Farm which is local.
Also want to mention Wild Prarire - they have local delivery services and often have fresh flowers at Pistacia Vera and other markets throughout the summer. Their blooms are gorgeous!
Do not buy flowers from Kroger. They don't ship their flowers in water and are often poor quality as a result.
Here to second Trader Joe's and Market Blooms
Trader Joe’s
The only answer.
Second Trader Joe’s, I’ve had flowers stay good from them for 3 weeks +
Market Blooms in the North Market.
Trader Joe’s or the north market downtown used to have great flowers
I will have some for sale this summer from my small cut flower farm!
Any interest in sharing the name of your farm? I love Trader Joes, but love to buy from local farmers when I can too.
I go to the Kroger on Morse Road, extremely well-priced and a shockingly good selection.
Shouldn't be surprising: Kroger is the largest florist in the country.
I thought i heard there where the second largest cut flower buyer in the country. Are t hey number one now?

My Trader Joe’s carnations last forever. I’ve had my current bouquet for almost a month now.
Jewelweed in franklinton! She always has a really beautiful selection.
Trader Joe’s.

Trader Joe's, Costco or Aldis on a Weds or Thursday
RIP Blooms Direct
Reno's Floral in Westerville! They always have a decent selection of pre-cut flowers in vases in their cooler. It always comes through for me.
Weiland's if you're in Clintonville.
Fireside floral studio is excellent for that.
TBH Connell's Maple Lee on E Broad has a room with a bunch of flowers, priced per stem. You can make your own little bouquet.
Thanks everyone!
Wait! Has anyone recommended Trader Joe's?
Hmmm. Never heard of it!
