Summary: The uncertainty surrounding tariffs has kept everyone in the floral supply chain on edge. While the situation for fresh cut flower tariffs has become clearer the broader implications remain complex.
Sourcing locally can certainly help mitigate some pricing volatility, and many florists are rightly advising customers that local flowers offer both quality and cost benefits—especially during peak domestic growing seasons.
