Father’s Day in the US: when it falls and flowers to choose
United States · Nationwide
Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June in the United States. For a floral gift, we suggest sunflowers to make yellow stand out or gerberas in another color he enjoys. A bouquet with a vase can be enjoyed when he gets home.

A gift that fits his Sunday
The US date changes each year. It does not follow March 19 in Spain or the first Sunday in June in Lithuania. Write the full date with the year on an order placed from abroad.
If you will spend the day out, give the flowers at home before leaving or when you return. For a family gathering, a compact bouquet can stay on a side table during the meal. Size it around the place where he will enjoy it.
Choosing flowers and arranging the handoff
Sunflowers make a strong impression: a few stems can take up considerable space. Choose gerberas if you want another color or a smaller bunch. This is our gift suggestion; follow the shapes and colors your father likes.
A card might say “Dad, for all the time you make to be there for me. Happy Father’s Day.” Include the apartment number and ZIP code for local delivery. Agree on Sunday service with the florist or arrange collection the day before.
Which flowers to choose
Compare flowers to choose the format, colours and care that suit the occasion.

Frequently asked questions
What bouquet could fit on his desk?
Ask for a compact bouquet with a stable base and give the available width. A few gerberas in a small vase may fit better than a wide arrangement.
How can siblings prepare a shared gift?
Give one bouquet together and have everyone sign the card. Choose one person to arrange collection or delivery so separate orders do not arrive at different times.
