DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier floral and gifting company FTD® (NASDAQ: FTD) announces a new collection of faith-inspired floral arrangements and gifts. In collaboration with DaySpring, the leading supplier of Christian greeting cards and gifts, FTD designed the inspirational collection as a part of their partnership with Hallmark.

The partnership of the U.S.'s largest floral retailer with the world's largest Christian greeting card company is a natural fit. It allows FTD to reach faith-driven consumers looking for exceptional gifting choices, with guaranteed, high-quality, florist-designed arrangements.
