Our Philosophy
At Long Stems, we believe that there is something inherently personal and extraordinary about flowers. They have come to signify an endless array of sentiments and occasions, and hold significance in nearly every life experience. Whether used to express feelings of love, jubilation, thanks, care, or condolences, flowers have become an enduring source of beauty and emotion in our lives.
Our unique approach to designing stems from a deep appreciation for the life of each flower and plant, a horticultural background that not only makes our staff highly knowledgeable, but also allows us to find more unusual seasonal selections. Your Long Stems arrangements will always be distinctive and exceptional, and with our gracious and easygoing family farmers market atmosphere, you will not only enjoy your flowers, but the entire process along the way.
A Family Florist
Keith first bought Long Stems in 1997 and hit the ground running, quickly establishing a strong reputation around Philly for his exceptional work. Starting as a bustling shop on Bala Avenue, Long Stems has always carried only the best and most unique flowers available, whether delivered from local farms or shipped to us from across the world. This dedication to quality helped us find some truly outstanding suppliers we’ve been working with ever since. Business was taking off and Keith needed all hands on deck, so soon enough his brother Pat joined the team, as well as his wife Anne, his mother-in-law Joanne, and his wife’s aunt Diane, turning Long Stems into an authentic family shop. On the busier days when they couldn’t find a sitter, Keith and Anne would bring along their three sons, Jimmy, Mason, and Johnny. For a while, we even had a store cat named Lumpy. For providing the City of Brotherly Love with such stunning flowers, we won the Best of Philly award in 1999. From there, we just kept doing what we love every day- what every florist loves- creating beautiful floral designs that bring people joy. We loved our first shop but needed more space as the business continued to grow, so in 2008 we moved to our current store on Montgomery Ave.
Long Stems became a household name in Merion Station soon after, delivering fresh flowers and plants to an ever-growing clientele on a daily basis.
