Valentine’s Day is here, and if you haven’t already picked a gift for your partner, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Yes, Dollar General is selling flowers for Valentine’s Day

Most TikTok users were as surprised as you to learn that Dollar General is selling fresh flowers for Valentine’s Day in 2024.

The smaller bouquet consisting of only a rose in different colors is available for $2.5, while the bigger one with a variety of flowers is sold for $5.

This is the first time that the store is selling fresh flowers, that too for such a low cost that people aren’t able to contain their excitement.

However, Dollar General hasn’t revealed until when the fresh flowers will be available at their stores.

Those who had the chance to grab the flower bouquets have praised their quality and noted that the freshness lasts for a couple of days.

“The price is honestly unreal and the quality had me shocked!,” wrote one TikTok user.

Another added: “They last forever. I bought some 3 weeks ago and they look amazing still”

There’s a more ‘elegant’ alternative for roses

Red roses have always been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, but a California florist told The Focus that there’s a more “elegant” flower than the classic choice.

Kelly Par�, shared: “With 20 years in the floral industry, I would choose ranunculus as a great alternative to roses. They have layers of delicate petals that create such an elegant appearance.”

The beautiful flower resembling roses is believed to have a lovely meaning associated with it. They have a symbolic representation of charm, attractiveness, and radiance, the florist said, and are associated with joy and happiness.
