Florists in Sanibel, FL

Sanibel has one florist, the 10th largest selection in Lee County, where Fort Myers accounts for 29 on its own. With one shop covering the town, ring before setting out: a single florist is more likely to be out on deliveries or closed for a funeral than a larger operation.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Cape Coral, about 13 miles away, with 9 florists. Bear in mind that a shop delivering out of its own town will usually charge more for it and may need more notice.

Humidity is the enemy of a summer arrangement here, more than heat. Flowers hold far better in an air-conditioned room than a screened porch, and anything delivered outdoors should be brought inside right away. Tropicals and foliage cope with the conditions better than soft-stemmed garden flowers.
