How to send flowers to Nicaragua from the United States

Sending flowers from the US is simple if you have the recipient’s details at hand and remember that some dates are different in the two countries.

The United States is by far the country Nicaraguans send the most money home from: 82.8% of remittances in 2024, according to the Central Bank of Nicaragua.

What you need for the order

  • The recipient’s name and phone number: couriers usually call before arriving.
  • An address with landmarks: many addresses in Nicaragua are given from a well-known point.
  • The date and, if it matters, a time window.
  • The card message.
  • Your budget: we send options with photos and prices.

Dates that do not match

  • Mother’s Day: in Nicaragua it is 30 May (a national holiday); in the US, the second Sunday of May.
  • Father’s Day: in Nicaragua it is 23 June (Law 811); in the US, the third Sunday of June.

Time difference

Nicaragua stays on UTC−6 all year, with no daylight saving. Compared with US Eastern time it is 1 hour behind in winter and 2 hours behind in summer.

How to pay

You can pay by card or PayPal from abroad. In Nicaragua prices are stated in córdobas under a Central Bank rule in force since 2025; we also give you the US dollar equivalent at the official rate, which for 2026 is C$36.6243 per dollar.
