Valentine's Day without roses – Why we focus on regionality and freshness 💐
For Valentine's Day, we at Eterna Concept Store in Stäfa are consciously choosing a sustainable alternative: Instead of imported roses, you can get beautiful, regional spring flowers from us that will bring joy for a long time.
Why do we forgo roses on Valentine's Day?
For many years, we at Eterna Concept Store have consciously chosen quality over tradition. The reason is simple : Roses for Valentine's Day are often stored for weeks beforehand – and you can tell by their longevity.
The problem with Valentine's Day roses:
❌ Long storage = less freshness
❌ Short lifespan despite high price
❌ Long transport routes from abroad
❌ The price-performance ratio is no longer right
This contradicts everything we as florists in Stäfa on Lake Zurich stand for : offering you high-quality flowers that last a long time and truly deserve their value.
Our sustainable alternative: Fresh spring flowers from the region 🌷
Instead of relying on imported roses, we offer you seasonal, local flowers that grow right here in Switzerland.
What makes regional flowers better?
✅ Maximum freshness – short transport routes from the horticultural business to us
✅ Longer shelf life – no need for weeks of storage
✅ Supporting local nurseries in the Gold Coast region
✅ Sustainability – smaller CO₂ footprint
✅ Swiss quality – highest standards guaranteed
Soft pink tulips – The elegant Valentine's Day surprise
We've pre-ordered beautiful double tulips in delicate pink for you. These spring flowers are:
🌸 Fresh – directly from Swiss nurseries
🌸 Elegant – double flowers are a real eye-catcher
🌸 Long-lasting – up to 10 days of enjoyment in the vase
🌸 Regional – from small businesses that work with passion
Tulips are the perfect alternative to roses – they symbolize true love, are versatile in their combinations and are a perfect fit for the start of spring in February.
Why support local nurseries on Lake Zurich?
At Eterna Concept Store, we work exclusively with small, family-run nurseries from the region. These partnerships allow us to:
💚 Direct contact with the producers
💚 Transparency regarding origin and cultivation
💚 Fair prices for Swiss quality
💚 Freshness guaranteed through short supply chains
Your purchase supports the regional economy – and you get flowers that are truly sustainable.
What does that mean for you as a customer?
✨ More value for your money – flowers that last significantly longer
✨ A clear conscience – sustainable and regional
✨ Exclusivity – not every florist offers this quality
✨ Surprise effect – tulips are more original than standard roses
How to properly care for your Valentine's Day tulips
To ensure you can enjoy your spring flowers for as long as possible, here are our professional tips :
- Cut the stems at an angle – this way they absorb more water.
- Fresh water daily – tulips are thirsty.
- Cool location – no direct heat from the heating system
- Remove leaves from the water – prevents rot.
- Cut into fresh pieces every 2 days for maximum shelf life
💡 Insider tip : Add a drop of bleach to the water – this will keep the flowers fresh even longer!
