How to choose the best flower subscription for you

How often do you want flowers?

The vast majority of online florists offer a standard monthly subscription (Flowerbx is the notable exception: it offers a weekly and fortnightly subscription, too). Some companies will let you know the exact day of the month your flowers will arrive; some are a little more vague. If you need flowers more frequently, or at different intervals to a florist’s advertised subscriptions, we suggest you give them a call and lay out your needs – if it’s financially worth their while, they will be happy to accommodate you.

How long do you want a subscription for?

The shortest flower subscriptions last for three months, while the longest are either 12 months or work on a rolling, indefinite basis. The majority of florists offer subscriptions that are three, six or 12 months long. But if you’re nervous about committing to something that might be too long-term for you, bear in mind that barely any florists charge a cancellation fee, provided you give them sufficient notice before the next scheduled delivery.

What’s your budget?

Flower subscriptions vary wildly in budget – our list ranges between starting prices of £20 and £45 – and those are for the cheapest subscriptions available. With luxe subscriptions, you can even spend as much as £100 per delivery. Like any bulk purchase, the longer the subscription you choose, the cheaper each flower delivery gets.

7. Freddie’s Flowers: Best for unusual blooms

Price: £25 per delivery | Check prices at Freddie’s Flowers freddie's flowers - a cardboard delivery box filled with various types of unusual colourful flowersFreddie Garland (yes, really) of Freddie’s Flowers prides himself on sustainability and seasonal stems. This translates into its inclusion of rather lovely, unusual blooms that distinguish the company from its competitors. Debut of the dainty cherry blossom Prunus, for example, attests to this. Plus, Freddie’s is great for its little perks; it recently extended a free bunch of daffodils to subscribers on St David’s Day and has put out plenty of creative content with its first Artist in Residence to keep, ahem, budding florists inspired.

Their sustainability is top notch too; 38% of deliveries are by bike or electric van, and everything – food sachets included – in the box is biodegradable (plus you can leave the old boxes out so they can reuse them). While you can’t select the bunch of blooms yourself, with the range, thought and special touches Freddie et al put into their selection (for Valentine’s Day there were ten different kinds of roses), you will be thrilled and delighted that you left it to the experts.
