Which hospital units accept flowers, and which refuse them
Set unit by unit, not hospital by hospital. Refusals are infection control: soil and vase water carry fungal spores.
Usually accepted· 3 units
General medical, surgical and orthopedic floors
The ordinary case: a self-watering container asks nothing of staff.
Maternity and postpartum floors
Stays are short and a newborn shares the room: send early, low scent.
Rehabilitation, stroke and long-stay floors
Stays run for weeks, so a plant outlasts cut flowers.
Ask the unit· 1 unit
Pediatric floors and children’s hospitals
Varies most here; pediatric oncology follows neutropenic rules and latex is restricted. Ask the floor and the parents first.
Usually refused· 5 units
Intensive care — ICU, CCU, CVICU, step-down
Flat surfaces are working space; soil and water are excluded. Send to the waiting family.
Bone marrow transplant, stem cell, neutropenic oncology
Suppressed immune systems are protected from spores in soil and water. A sealed food gift, or flowers at home.
Solid organ transplant and burn units
Open wounds and immunosuppression make those spores a real risk. Send home, or time it for discharge.
NICU and special care nursery
Flowers, plants and balloons are kept off the nursery floor. Send to the mother’s maternity floor.
Operating rooms, recovery and day surgery
Nobody stays here; recovery bays run on a schedule. Send to the floor afterward.
Bright and pastel bouquets, $54.99 to $84.99
Brights read as recovery; pastels suit maternity. Avoid all-white, which reads as sympathy here, and keep scent mild in a shared room.
Room number, privacy and discharge
Get the room number
It turns a delivery from a search into an instruction, and privacy status can block a lookup entirely.
Patients change rooms
A number from two days ago may be stale, so give the unit or floor name as well.
Hospitals do not forward flowers
A discharged room is reassigned within hours, and Friday discharges are common. Going home soon? Send there instead.
For a long stay, and for units that refuse flowers

Ask the family before sending food: appetite during treatment is unpredictable.
How to send flowers to a hospital or nursing home
- Can you send flowers to a hospital?
- Yes, in most cases. General, surgical, orthopedic, maternity and rehabilitation floors normally accept a bedside arrangement. Intensive care, transplant, neutropenic oncology, burn and neonatal units usually refuse them, so call the floor first.
- How do I send flowers to a hospital?
- Call the unit: does it accept flowers, and is the patient still there? Use the name exactly as admitted, and the address of the right building, since large systems run several campuses. At checkout, set Location Type to Hospital, the room or bed number in Apartment / Suite and the unit or floor name in Delivery Instructions.
- Do I need the room number to send flowers to a hospital?
- Not strictly, but it is what most often decides whether the delivery lands: reception can route it without looking anyone up. A patient on no-information status cannot be acknowledged at all, so that delivery is refused.
- Can you deliver flowers to a hospital room?
- As far into the building as the hospital allows — the room door in some, a reception desk or volunteer round in most, a family member in a few. That last leg belongs to the hospital.
- What happens if the patient is discharged before the flowers arrive?
- Hospitals do not forward flowers, and a discharged room is reassigned within hours. If discharge is likely, send to the home address instead, and contact us early if an order needs its address changed.
- Can I add balloons to a hospital delivery?
- Mylar only. Hospitals restrict latex because latex allergy is common among staff and frequently treated patients, and the one balloon in our add-ons is mylar, at $4.99. Check that the unit allows balloons.
- Can you send flowers to a nursing home?
- Yes, and simpler than a hospital because residents stay put. Use the resident’s full name and room number, with the facility name in Delivery Instructions. Memory care units often restrict glass, so a plant in a pot is safer.
