How to Send Flowers to Ontario from Abroad

You can send flowers to Ontario from abroad by ordering online, paying in US dollars with an international card or PayPal, and letting a local florist hand-deliver the bouquet. Orders are accepted from any country. In most areas, an order placed before 11:00 am Ontario time, Monday to Saturday, arrives the same day.

Can you send flowers to Ontario from another country?

Yes. Orders are accepted from any country, and the site lists the US, UK, Europe and China among the places customers order from. If you want to send flowers to Ontario from the USA, you use the same website and checkout as someone in London or Madrid. You do not need to find a shop yourself, because a florist in Ontario receives and delivers the order.

Coverage is all of Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, London, Markham and Vaughan, plus 22 more city pages. If your recipient lives in a smaller town, check the address during checkout so you know it falls in the delivery area.

How do you send flowers to Ontario from abroad, step by step?

  1. Go to flowersontario.com and browse the flower collection. The catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants.
  2. Choose an item. Prices run from USD 72.99 to USD 199.99. You can also add a box of chocolates, glass vase, plush teddy bear, greeting card, balloons or wine bottle.
  3. Write your card message. Every order includes a free printed card.
  4. Enter the recipient's name, full street address in Ontario and phone number.
  5. Add any delivery instructions, such as a preferred time. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed.
  6. Pay in USD with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card, or with PayPal. Card payments are processed through Stripe.

You will get the order details once it is placed, so keep them in case the florist needs to confirm something.

How long does delivery take, and when should you order?

Orders placed before 11:00 am Ontario time, Monday to Saturday, are delivered the same day in most areas. Orders placed later are delivered the next day. There are no deliveries on Sundays or main public holidays.

Most of Ontario runs on Eastern Time. If you are on Pacific Time, 11:00 am in Ontario is 8:00 am in Vancouver, so check the clock before you assume you have time.

The site recommends ordering at least two to three days ahead for major holidays. Here are the next three dates, with a suggested order-by day:

Occasion Date Order by Price from (plus USD 14.95 delivery)
Christmas (Noël) Friday, December 25, 2026 Tuesday, December 22 USD 72.99
Valentine's Day (la Saint-Valentin) Sunday, February 14, 2027 Wednesday, February 10 USD 72.99
Mother's Day (Fête des mères) Sunday, May 9, 2027 Wednesday, May 5 USD 72.99

Christmas Day is a public holiday, so nothing is delivered that day. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day both fall on Sundays in 2027, which means Saturday is the last delivery day for those dates.

How much does it cost to send flowers to Ontario?

Bouquets start at USD 72.99, plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee. The cheapest order is therefore USD 87.94 before any add-ons. The top of the catalog range is USD 199.99, which comes to USD 214.94 with delivery.

For a mid-range option, the Citrus Glow Centerpiece is listed at USD 106.99, so the total with delivery is USD 121.94.

You are charged in USD. EUR and GBP amounts are shown for reference only, so your card issuer will convert the charge at its own rate. Check with your bank about foreign transaction fees before you order.

What flowers should you send to Ontario, and which should you avoid?

  • Roses for romance: the Enduring Passion dozen reds is a classic choice for a partner or a close loved one.
  • Spring colour: the Tulip and Rose Embrace suits a birthday or a visit to a new home.
  • Sympathy: if someone has lost a loved one, browse sympathy arrangements and choose softer colours and simple designs.
  • Avoid true lilies if cats live in the home. True lilies are toxic to cats, so ask about pets before you choose a lily arrangement.
  • Do not expect cakes or food hampers. The catalog is flowers, plants and the listed add-ons. Chocolates are available as an add-on.
  • Do not plan a Sunday delivery. Order by Saturday for a Sunday or holiday date.

What details do you need from the recipient?

You need three things: the recipient's full name, their complete street address in Ontario and a phone number. The phone number lets the florist coordinate the delivery, so use a number the recipient actually answers. Double-check the spelling of the street name and unit number, because a small error can delay the delivery.

If the flowers are going to a workplace or a hospital, confirm that the building accepts deliveries and check its visiting rules before you order. If the recipient will not be home, add delivery instructions that say when they will be available, or ask a friend in Ontario to confirm the plan.

To place your order, go to flowersontario.com, start with the flower collection, and follow the steps above. Orders are accepted from any country, and the site delivers across Ontario.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay for flowers to Ontario with a US credit card?

Yes. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted through Stripe, and PayPal is also available. The order is charged in US dollars, so check how your card issuer handles foreign transactions.

You can enter the hospital's address, but the recipient's room number and the facility's visiting and flower rules still apply.
