Florists in Petal, MS

Petal has six florists, the 2nd largest selection in Forrest County, where Hattiesburg accounts for 10 on its own. That is enough to compare on style and price rather than taking the first quote, and independent shops differ more on both than their listings suggest. Two list a website; the rest take orders by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Hattiesburg, about 7 miles away, with 10 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.
