How to Send Flowers to Puerto Rico from Abroad

Yes, you can send flowers to Puerto Rico from abroad, including from the USA, UK, Canada, Spain and the rest of Europe. Order online, pay in USD by card or PayPal, add your message, and a local Puerto Rico florist hand-delivers the flowers to the recipient.

This is the simplest option if you are an expat, relative or friend living off the island and you need reliable flower delivery Puerto Rico without calling a local shop or managing time zones.

Can you send flowers to Puerto Rico from another country?

Yes. FlowersPuertoRico accepts online orders from anywhere in the world and delivers to addresses across Puerto Rico. The order is placed online, payment is made in USD, and the bouquet, plant or gift is prepared locally in Puerto Rico for hand delivery.

This works for customers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, other parts of Europe and elsewhere. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference.

Coverage includes all of Puerto Rico, including San Juan, Bayamón, Carolina, Ponce, Caguas, Guaynabo, Arecibo and Toa Baja. If your recipient is in the capital, you can check delivery details for San Juan flower delivery. There are also local delivery pages for other cities, including Bayamón and Ponce.

International flower delivery Puerto Rico is useful for birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy, get well wishes, graduations, new babies, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. It is also a good choice when you want a personal gesture but cannot travel to Puerto Rico yourself.

How to send flowers to Puerto Rico from abroad, step by step

The process is straightforward. You do not need to know a florist on the island, and you do not need to call Puerto Rico from overseas.

  1. Choose the occasion. Start with why you are sending flowers: birthday, romance, sympathy, thank you, get well, holiday or just because.

  2. Browse the catalog. FlowersPuertoRico offers 152 bouquets, plants and gifts. You can start with the main flower collection, or choose a more specific category if the occasion calls for it.

  3. Select an arrangement. Pick something that fits the recipient and the setting. A vase arrangement is often easier for homes, offices and hospitals because the flowers arrive ready to display.

  4. Add a card message. Every order includes a free printed card message. Keep it warm and clear, especially if Spanish is the recipient’s main language. A simple “Te queremos mucho” (We love you very much) or “Con mucho cariño” (With much affection) works well for family.

  5. Add extras if appropriate. Available add-ons include chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons and wine. Choose based on the occasion and the recipient’s preferences.

  6. Enter delivery details. Use the recipient’s full name, complete address and phone number. The phone number helps the florist coordinate delivery if needed.

  7. Pay online. Payment is available by card through Stripe or by PayPal. The charge is in USD.

For a birthday, you might choose a cheerful product such as Birthday Fiesta Surprise. For romance, a design such as Scarlet Diamond Valentine may be more fitting. Product names are less important than choosing the right tone for the relationship and occasion.

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

FlowersPuertoRico offers next-day delivery nationwide. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as San Juan, Bayamón and Carolina when the order is placed early.

If the date matters, order as soon as you can. This is especially important when sending from abroad because time zones, payment checks and incomplete address details can slow things down. A phone number for the recipient is one of the easiest ways to avoid delivery problems.

For major flower holidays in Puerto Rico, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. These dates are busy for local florists, and earlier ordering gives you a better chance of getting the arrangement style you want.

Occasion in Puerto Rico Date What to send When to order
Navidad (Christmas) December 25, 2026 Festive flowers, centerpieces or plants At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Día de San Valentín (Valentine’s Day) February 14, 2027 Red roses, romantic mixed flowers At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Día de las Madres (Mother’s Day) May 9, 2027 Elegant bouquets, pastel flowers, plants At least 2 to 3 days ahead

For everyday occasions, next-day delivery is usually enough. For same-day requests in major cities, order early and make sure the address and phone number are correct before checkout.

How much does it cost to send flowers to Puerto Rico?

Bouquets on FlowersPuertoRico range from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95. The final cost depends on the arrangement and any add-ons you select.

The lowest listed bouquet price is USD 63.24. If you want something more premium, larger arrangements and gift combinations can cost more, up to USD 172.49 before the delivery fee.

Payment is charged in USD. EUR and GBP are shown only for reference, which is helpful if you are ordering from the UK or Europe and want a quick idea of the amount in your own currency.

When comparing prices, look beyond the bouquet cost. A good international flower delivery Puerto Rico order should include local preparation, hand delivery and a clear way to add a message. On FlowersPuertoRico, every order includes a free printed card message, so you do not need to pay extra just to include a personal note.

Add-ons can make sense for certain occasions. Chocolates are suitable for birthdays and romance. Balloons can work for birthdays or celebrations. A teddy bear may fit a new baby or a younger recipient. Wine should be chosen only when you know it is appropriate for the recipient.

What flowers are appropriate in Puerto Rico, and which should you avoid?

Puerto Rico has warm, expressive gift-giving traditions, and flowers are welcome for many occasions. The safest choice is to match the color and style to the message you want to send.

For romance, red roses and red mixed arrangements are the clearest choice. Valentine’s Day, anniversaries and romantic apologies usually call for richer colors and a direct message.

For family birthdays, bright mixed flowers are a good fit. Puerto Rican families often value warmth and affection in the card message, so do not make the note too formal. If you are sending to a parent, grandparent, aunt or close family friend, “con cariño” is natural and friendly.

For Día de las Madres (Mother’s Day), elegant bouquets, pinks, whites, pastels and blooming plants are appropriate. Mother’s Day is a major family occasion in Puerto Rico, so ordering early matters.

For sympathy, choose soft, respectful colors. White, cream, pale pink and gentle mixed arrangements are usually safer than bright party colors. You can browse sympathy flowers if your message is condolence, remembrance or support after a death.

Avoid anything that sends the wrong signal. Red roses can feel romantic, so they may not be the best choice for a coworker, client or distant relative unless the arrangement is clearly mixed and neutral. Balloons, wine and very festive designs are not right for sympathy. Very casual jokes in the card may not translate well across families, generations or languages.

If you are unsure, choose a classic mixed bouquet in soft or cheerful colors and write a simple message. The card does not need to be long. A sincere sentence is better than a complicated note.

What details do you need from the recipient?

You need the recipient’s full name, full delivery address and a phone number. These three details are essential for flower delivery Puerto Rico because the florist may need to confirm the location or coordinate the hand delivery.

For the address, include every detail you have. Apartment or unit number, building name, urbanization, neighborhood, city and ZIP code can all help. If the delivery is going to a workplace, include the business name, department and any reception instructions.

For homes and apartments, make sure someone is likely to be available. If the recipient lives in a gated community or a building with controlled access, the phone number becomes even more important.

If you are sending to a hospital, care facility or office, check that flowers are accepted at that location before ordering. Rules can vary by facility, and a complete recipient name helps staff identify the right person.

The card message should include your name unless the surprise depends on anonymity. Many recipients in Puerto Rico have family members nearby, so a clear sender name can prevent confusion when flowers arrive at a shared home.

Ready to order from overseas? Choose an arrangement from the FlowersPuertoRico flower collection, enter the recipient’s Puerto Rico address and phone number, add your free printed card message, and pay online in USD by card or PayPal.
