The best Valentine’s Day flowers are especially great for last-minute shoppers: They’re fresh, beautiful, relatively easy to find—and these days, you can order them online and have them delivered virtually anywhere, and quickly. But with the wide variety of options comes many decisions. Are you looking to gift classic roses or something a bit more splashy? Or perhaps you want to opt for something less traditional, such as an edible bouquet, a dried arrangement or a bundle of eternity flowers that last for up to a year?

But don’t wait too long to mull over your choices—supplies are limited and flower delivery services may run out of crowd-pleasing favorites as the holiday approaches. You might also have to pay an added shipping fee to pick the date, so you’ll want to get a head start sooner rather than later.
