About Us

SendFlowersCostaRica helps people abroad send fresh flowers to family, friends and colleagues in Costa Rica. Our customers are Ticos living in the United States, Canada or Europe, foreigners with a partner or in-laws in the country, travellers who want to thank a host, and companies with teams in the Central Valley. You order online at sendflowerscostarica.com, and a local florist makes the arrangement by hand and delivers it.

Addresses here are given by landmarks and metres, not street numbers, and local florists are used to finding the house 100 metres south of the church. They deliver across San José and the Greater Metropolitan Area, to Guanacaste, the Pacific beaches and the Caribbean coast. Order before 11:00 am local time for same-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. You pay in US dollars with a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee, and a printed card message is included.

Giving flowers in Costa Rica

Costa Ricans are warm, family-minded people, and flowers fit naturally into the way they celebrate. The biggest date is 15 August, Mother's Day, a national holiday when families gather around mothers and grandmothers. Birthdays, new babies, graduations, anniversaries and the Day of Love and Friendship on 14 February follow closely. The country grows flowers and foliage in the cool highlands of the Central Valley and tropical stems in the lowlands, and its national flower is the guaria morada orchid. A gift that arrives at the door with a personal message matches the Tico idea of being detallista, someone who shows affection through thoughtful gestures. Bright, cheerful colours are preferred for celebrations, while white is kept for sympathy.

Our story

Behind SendFlowersCostaRica is Flowers Worldwide LLC, a company registered in the United States that focuses on sending flowers across borders. Its family of brands includes abcFlora.com for worldwide flower delivery and FlowersCloud.com. Each brand works the same way: customers anywhere in the world order and pay securely online, and a local florist prepares and delivers the flowers in the destination country. In Costa Rica, that keeps the craft in local hands and lets the sender rely on someone who knows the neighbourhood.
