FAQ
Retail Locations
Where are Native Poppy's retail shops?
Our flower shops are located in San Diego's South Park neighborhood at 3009 Grape St. San Diego, CA 92102, and in Solana Beach at 142 S Cedros Ave. Solana Beach, CA 92075
What are your hours?
We're open 10 am - 5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.
What's the stem bar?
Our unique in-store experience allows our customers to pick exactly what flowers they want. Flowers are sold per stem. Pick out your favorites and we will wrap them for you to take home! If you’d prefer your stem bar selection to be arranged by one of our designers, you’re welcome to order off of our Daily Flower Menu!
Do the Daily Flower Menu items change often?
While we offer flower bouquets wrapped in paper and flower arrangements year round, you'll notice changes in our designs each month, as flower varieties come in and out of season. We also create special holiday flower menus for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and the winter holiday season, to help you find the most beautiful flowers of the season to celebrate special occasions. Some of our favorite seasonal flowers, like Peonies and Lilac, are only around for a few weeks each year, so keep an eye on our Instagram to see what's fresh at the shops.

Native Poppy flower arrangements are all one of a kind! Each one is subject to flower availability and seasonality. While we can take requests for certain color palettes we reserve the right to substitute as needed. That means we cannot guarantee any specific flowers or colors.

Other FAQs
Where do you get your flowers?
We work with a handful of local wholesalers and importers as well as a selection of local flower farms. We also are lucky to have a small plot of land where we grow our own homegrown flowers in El Cajon. Read more about Native Poppy's urban farm on our blog.
How long will my flowers last? What can I do to help them last longer?
The best way to care for your flowers is to keep them in fresh, cool water away from direct sunlight or heat. We've done a few experiments to see what keeps flowers fresh, and time after time, replacing vase water daily is the trick that keeps our flowers looking cute the longest. Certain varieties of flowers last longer than others, but with proper care our cut flowers and arrangements can last 5-7 days!
Can I order a dozen roses? Or an arrangement of peonies?
Native Poppy florists create bouquets and arrangements in our signature "garden style," using a fun variety of the best seasonal flowers available. Using a wide range of flowers lets our florists go wild, and create one of a kind arrangements that are fresh as can be. Occasionally we will offer special seasonal products that celebrate our favorite flowers — like romantic roses for Valentine's Day, or big bunches of Lilac in the spring! Wanna build a bouquet filled with your favorite flowers? Stop by our shop to see what's in our Stem Bar, and build your dream bouquet!
How many stems are in each wrap or arrangement?
It varies depending on the season and the style of wrap or arrangement! We arrange the freshest flowers in our signature "garden style" and charge market price per stem, so the stem count changes based on what varieties are available each week. We strive to keep size and style consistent throughout the year, using a wide variety of mixed blooms and foliage.
What's a "Florasaurus"?
The Florasaurus is Native Poppy's unofficial mascot! Every year we create special apparel and merch with a new florasaurus illustration designed by a member of our community.
