Florists in Covington, LA

Covington has four florists, the 2nd largest selection in St. Tammany Parish, where Slidell accounts for 13 on its own. That is a small enough choice that same-day work is worth phoning about rather than assuming, particularly on the run-up to a holiday when a small shop books out quickly. All of them list a website as well as a phone number.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Hammond, about 22 miles away, with 6 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 in straight away. Tropicals and foliage cope with the conditions better than soft-stemmed garden flowers.
