Flower Subscriptions UK: How They Work And What To Look For

A flower subscription delivers fresh flowers on a regular schedule, usually weekly, fortnightly or monthly. In the UK most subscriptions arrive as letterbox flowers you arrange yourself, though some send ready-made hand-tied bouquets.

They make a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving, and a simple treat for yourself. Here's what to compare before you sign up.

Frequently asked questions

Are flower subscriptions worth it?

If you'd buy flowers regularly anyway, a subscription is often cheaper per bunch and saves time. Check the minimum term first.

Can you gift a flower subscription?

Yes. Most UK services offer fixed-length gift subscriptions, such as three or six deliveries.

Do letterbox flowers last as long?

Usually yes, as they're sent in bud and open at home. Trim the stems and change the water every couple of days.
