If you need palms for Palm Sunday, the quickest options are usually a local Catholic church, florist, church-supply store, or a regional flower market. Some online church-supply vendors also sell Palm Sunday palms for shipping, and one forum suggestion specifically mentioned checking a local florist and, if possible, a flower market that serves your area.

Good places to check

  • Your parish or nearby churches. Many churches order palms in advance and may have extras to share or sell.
  • Local florists. A florist can sometimes special-order palm fronds if you call ahead.
  • Church-supply retailers. Several suppliers list palms for Palm Sunday and ship nationwide.
  • Flower markets or wholesale growers. These are often the best source if you need a larger quantity or want them locally sourced.
  • Online ordering. If you’re close to Palm Sunday and local stock is thin, shipping from a church-supply vendor may be the most reliable backup.

What to ask for

  • Palm branches or palm fronds.
  • Pre-cut or stripped palms for church use.
  • Palm crosses if your parish uses them.

Timing tip

Order as early as you can, because some suppliers recommend placing Palm Sunday orders months ahead, especially for church groups or larger quantities.
