Fresh flowers can make all the difference to a room. They bring life, colour and fragrance into your home, and some studies have shown they even have the power to reduce blood pressure, pain and anxiety in those around them. 

Gone are the days when we grab a bouquet from the supermarket without a second thought – more and more businesses are offering convenient fresh flower deliveries as monthly subscriptions. What’s more, most champion local, sustainable practices, sourcing stems ethically and sending them in recyclable packaging. 

We’ve already already listed our favourite plant subscription services, so here we’re focussing on the UK’s best flower subscription services. Whether you want to treat a loved one or fill your home with a regular supply of fresh blooms, take a look at the fantastic options below. 

Best flower subscription services in the UK

Appleyard London

"A

Four bouquet options make up Appleyard London’s flower subscription packages: ‘Home’, ‘Birthday’, ‘Seasonal’ and ‘Romance’. All the stems come from Fairtrade farms dedicated to supporting the local community, so you can rest easy knowing your bouquets are ethically produced. 

The longer the subscription you choose, the less you pay per month. Bouquets start at £30 per delivery for a three-month purchase, drop down to £27.50 for six-month orders and then to £25 for 12-month or ongoing subscriptions. 

You’ll also find food hampers and gifts on Appleyard London’s website, so it’s a great place to look if you want to treat a loved one to a few different presents.

Despite being a relatively small business, Freddie’s Flowers has already accepted more than three million orders. The brand’s story began when Freddie started preparing flowers in a tent in his parents’ garden and delivering them locally in a yellow milk float. 

If you sign up for a subscription, you’ll pay £25 per delivery and get some of the rarer flower varieties you don’t see in other branded boxes. You can also choose how frequently you receive your blooms and opt for an arrangement without lilies if you have pets or allergies. 

Plus, Freddie’s Flowers bouquets are sent with sustainability in mind. They come in biodegradable packaging through carbon neutral deliveries. And you can recycle your box by leaving it out for the delivery driver to pick up when they drop off your next bunch.
