Spring Flowers in Season Right Now
Something shifts in late February. Not dramatically — London doesn't do dramatic — but perceptibly. The light changes. The market deliveries start arriving with stems that weren't there a month ago. And the arrangements we make begin to look different. Spring is the season that justifies the whole idea of seasonal floristry. Not because the flowers are the most showy — summer takes that — but because after several months of anemones, hellebores and architectural foliage, the arrival of ranunculus and alliums and tulips in full colour feels like something worth paying proper attention to. Here is what's genuinely in season right now, and what we're working with at Saints. TulipsThe most searched spring flower in the UK, and for good reason. Tulips are at their peak from late February through April, and the variety available during that window is remarkable — parrot tulips with their fringed, almost abstract petals; double tulips that sit like peonies in the vase; single varieties in every tone from near-black through to the cleanest white. They continue to grow after cutting, which means an arrangement evolves over the week it's in the vase. Keep them in cool, shallow water and let them do what they do. Our Florist Choice arrangement leans into whatever is exceptional at the time of ordering — in spring, tulips almost always feature. RanunculusThe standout stem of the season. Layered, almost sculptural in construction, ranunculus come in an extraordinary range — palest blush through coral, apricot, deep rose and rich burgundy. They open slowly over five to seven days, revealing more layers as they go. In the Faerie arrangement, you'll find reflexed roses alongside anthuriums and alliums — the same considered approach to palette that makes ranunculus worth choosing when they're at their best. AlliumsUnderused and quietly exceptional. The spherical heads — deep violet, pale lilac or near-white — add structure and height to an arrangement without competing with softer stems. They bridge the gap between a conventional bouquet and something more considered. Bold, architectural and distinctly spring. You'll find alliums working through several of our spring arrangements as a structural element. AnemonesThey bridge winter and early spring — their dark centres and jewel-toned petals making them one of the most distinctive stems available year-round in the UK. Red, purple, white and pink, each with that characteristic black centre. Five to seven days in the vase, but a stem that earns every one of those days. In our current Laurent arrangement, the pale and ivory palette sits in the same considered territory as white anemones — quiet, structural, genuinely beautiful. Sweet PeasAvailable for a short window in late spring — May into early June — and intensely fragrant. One of the few cut flowers whose scent genuinely fills a room. They're delicate, come in soft pinks, lilacs, whites and bicolours, and they disappear quickly. When they're available, it's worth ordering. We'll be working with them as the season progresses. NarcissiThe earliest marker that the season has actually changed. Bright, structural, unmistakably spring. They should be conditioned alone before combining with other stems — they release a sap that can shorten the vase life of stems around them. An hour in their own water first makes a difference. Why seasonal mattersA flower available year-round isn't the same flower in season. Out-of-season stems are grown in controlled environments, often sourced thousands of miles away, and spend days in cold storage before they reach you. They're technically available. They're not at their best. Seasonal stems are cut close to their peak, transported quickly, and arranged at the height of their vitality. The difference is visible — in the depth of colour, the structure of the petals, the fragrance. It's also the more considered choice. Seasonal floristry has a smaller environmental footprint and supports growers working with the calendar rather than against it. At Saints, every arrangement is built around what's genuinely in season. Spring is one of the best times to order — not because of the occasion, but because of the quality of what's available right now.

How Long Do Flowers Last? A Guide by Flower Type
The honest answer is: it depends. Not particularly satisfying, but accurate. Vase life varies by flower type, by season, by how the stems were handled before they reached you, and by what you do with them once they arrive. Most of those variables are within your control. Some aren't. What follows is a guide by stem — specific, honest, and based on what we work with at Saints. The baselineMost cut flowers, properly cared for, last somewhere between five and ten days. Fresh water every two days, stems trimmed at an angle, away from direct sunlight and radiators. Those things matter. But they only take you so far. A stem that spent two weeks in cold storage before it reached you will never last as long as one that was cut recently, regardless of care. This is why seasonality matters beyond aesthetics — a flower in season was cut close to its peak, not held in a warehouse waiting for demand. At Saints, every arrangement is built around what's genuinely available right now. That has a direct effect on vase life. RosesSeven to ten days when fresh and well-conditioned. One of the more durable cut flowers, which is part of why they're used so frequently. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline, change the water every two days, trim the stems each time. Keep them away from fruit — the ethylene gas released by ripening apples and bananas accelerates wilting noticeably. TulipsFive to seven days, but so good during that window that it barely matters. They continue to grow after cutting, which means an arrangement will shift and open across the week. Keep them in cool, shallow water. Don't fight what they do — let them move. PeoniesFive to seven days in full bloom, but the pleasure of receiving peonies in bud — which is how they should arrive — means you get several days of watching them open before the countdown really starts. One of the most rewarding flowers to receive for this reason. Worth every day of their window. LiliesUp to two weeks if the buds are still closed when they arrive. Each bud opens in sequence, extending the display gradually. Remove the pollen-bearing stamens as each flower opens — they stain fabric and surfaces, and their removal doesn't affect how long the flower lasts. Handle the pollen carefully. Ranunculus and anemonesFive to seven days. Short-lived but genuinely beautiful during that time — these are flowers for savouring, not for longevity. The layered construction of ranunculus means they open slowly across their window, each day revealing something slightly different. Worth it. HydrangeasUp to ten days, but temperamental. They're prone to wilting if the stems aren't properly conditioned on arrival. If wilting occurs, submerge the entire head in cool water for an hour — it often revives them. Keep them well-watered and away from heat sources. ChrysanthemumsFourteen days or more. Among the longest-lasting cut flowers available, and persistently underrated. Their association with funeral arrangements has unfairly limited how people use them, but a well-chosen chrysanthemum in an autumn arrangement is quietly extraordinary. If longevity is your primary consideration, chrysanthemums are your best option. SunflowersSeven to twelve days with proper care. They're thirsty — check the water level more frequently than you would with other stems. Keep them in a tall vase that supports the head. AlliumsSurprisingly durable — seven to ten days — and one of the few stems that actually improves in form as it dries. The spherical heads hold their structure long after the fresh flower has passed, making them useful in arrangements where longevity and architecture both matter. Dried flowersA different category entirely. Saints' dried arrangements don't have a vase life in the conventional sense — they shift and fade gradually over months rather than days. Not better or worse than fresh, just a different relationship with time. The short versionFor longevity: chrysanthemums, lilies, carnations, alliums. For beauty at the expense of a longer window: peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas, anemones. For a reliable middle ground: roses, sunflowers, hydrangeas. Most Saints arrangements are built around what's genuinely at its best right now. That means the vase life is as good as it gets for that stem, at that moment. The care card included with every order covers the basics — fresh water, trimmed stems, away from heat. Everything else follows from those three things. Shop the full collection →

Best Birthday Flowers to Send in 2026
Birthday flowers have a reputation problem. The category is dominated by generic red roses, garish multicolour bunches and decisions made in thirty seconds. Done badly, birthday flowers communicate exactly the level of thought that went into them. Done well, they're one of the most considered gifts you can give. The difference is almost entirely in how you approach the choice. Start with the person, not the occasionThe mistake most people make is choosing for the occasion rather than the recipient. "It's a birthday, so something bright and celebratory" — and the result is a bunch that could have been sent to anyone, for any reason. The best birthday flowers feel specific. They reflect something about the person receiving them: their home, their palette, their aesthetic, what they'd choose for themselves. Someone who lives in a minimal, considered interior probably doesn't want an explosion of mixed colour on their kitchen table. Someone who loves bold, expressive design might find a single-variety arrangement underwhelming. Think about the space the flowers will live in and the person who'll be looking at them every day until they're gone. Consider the seasonThe best birthday flowers are the ones that are genuinely at their best right now. Sending a particular flower outside its natural season means it's been in cold storage for weeks — technically available, not at its finest. In spring, ranunculus and tulips are extraordinary — layered, expressive, arriving at their peak. In summer, dahlias and peonies are the obvious answer — generous, full-blown, worth every penny. Autumn brings dahlias again alongside chrysanthemums, warm and tonal, deeply underrated. Winter offers anemones, hellebores and paperwhites — quieter and more architectural, for those who appreciate that kind of restraint. At Saints, every arrangement is built around what's genuinely in season. The collection shifts with the calendar rather than offering the same stems year-round. The case for a named arrangementMost online florists sell generic birthday bouquets with no particular character — assembled from whatever is available, wrapped and dispatched. Saints works differently. Every arrangement has a name, a specific palette and a defined point of view. Honoré is joyful and expressive, built around warm citrus tones and craspedia — the right choice for someone who moves through the world with energy. Seraphine is layered purples with silver anthurium, quietly dramatic — for someone with a considered eye. Cruz is earthy and warm, Cappuccino roses and terracotta carnations — grounded, confident, not trying too hard. Rue is deep red and sculptural — a statement without explanation. Faerie is soft coral and playful — for a birthday that deserves a little magic. Choosing a named arrangement means choosing something with a point of view. That's what makes it feel like a considered gift rather than a default one. What size to sendThe honest answer: medium is right for most occasions. Small arrangements can feel underwhelming as a standalone birthday gift. Large and extra large make a genuine statement and work well for people with bigger spaces or a taste for the dramatic. Extra large is for when you want the flowers to be the room — and occasionally, that's exactly the right call. The milestone birthdaysA 30th, 40th, 50th or significant birthday deserves more than a standard bunch. Go one size up from what you'd normally send. Consider a vase alongside — Saints' ceramic and glass edit is chosen to work with the arrangements and to stay in the room long after the flowers are gone. A considered object alongside a considered arrangement is a gift that doesn't disappear in a week. On the handwritten noteDon't skip it. Every Saints order includes the option of a handwritten note on our signature card. A sentence or two that's specific to the person beats a generic "Happy Birthday" without effort or thought. The flowers are the gesture — the note is what makes it personal. On timingBirthday flowers that arrive on the day land better than flowers that arrive two days early. Saints delivers same-day across London for orders placed by 4pm, Monday to Saturday. Next-day nationwide for orders by 5pm Monday to Friday, 11am Saturday. If you've left it until the day — that's fine. That's what 4pm is for. Shop birthday flowers →

Same-Day Flower Delivery London: The Complete Guide
Same-day flower delivery in London is genuinely useful. It's also genuinely variable. The cutoff times, postcode coverage, quality of what arrives and how it's packaged differ significantly depending on who you order from. This is a guide to how it works, what to look for, and what Saints offers across the city. How same-day flower delivery worksMost London florists operate a cutoff model — you place your order before a set time, and the arrangement is made and dispatched for delivery the same day. The cutoff time matters more than most people realise. FLOWERBX cuts off at 1pm. Appleyard at 1:30pm. Most same-day services in London require your order by early afternoon. For anyone making a decision during the working day — which is most people — that window has already closed. Saints' cutoff is 4pm, Monday to Saturday. An order placed at 3pm arrives the same evening. That's a three-hour advantage over most premium London florists, and it makes same-day a genuinely realistic option for decisions made during the day, not just for those who plan ahead. What arrives — and howSame-day doesn't have to mean compromise. Every Saints arrangement is made to order on the day — named, seasonal, built around what's genuinely at its best right now. Not a pre-assembled bunch dispatched from a warehouse. It leaves our London studio that day, made by hand. Arrangements are packed to travel — properly hydrated, secured and presented. What arrives at the door should look like what was ordered, not like something that's been sitting in a van since morning. The packaging is eco-friendly and designed to protect the arrangement through the journey, not just to look good in a photograph. Postcode coverageSame-day delivery in London is never truly city-wide — it depends on courier routes, studio location and logistics. Saints covers a broad range of London postcodes for same-day delivery: N, NW, W, WC, EC, E, SE and SW zones — covering the majority of North, North West, West, Central, East and South West London. If you're unsure whether your postcode is covered, check at checkout or email hello@saintsflowers.co.uk. We'll confirm straight away. When same-day makes senseThe obvious case is last-minute — a birthday forgotten, a sympathy gesture that can't wait, a thank you that needs to arrive today rather than tomorrow. But same-day delivery is increasingly used intentionally. Ordering flowers for your own home on the day you want them. Sending something to a friend on the day of an event rather than the day before. Deciding at 2pm that a colleague deserves flowers today. The 4pm cutoff makes all of these possible without a moment of panic. What to look for in a same-day London floristThe cutoff time is the first thing to check. Beyond that: what's actually being delivered — a named, made-to-order arrangement or a generic bunch assembled from whatever's available? How is it packaged? Is tracking included? What's the coverage area? The distinction matters because same-day delivery has historically meant accepting a lower standard — speed at the expense of quality. That's a compromise Saints doesn't make. The arrangements available for same-day delivery are the same ones available for any other order. The only variable is timing. Nationwide deliveryFor deliveries outside London, Saints offers next-day delivery across all UK mainland postcodes. Order by 5pm Monday to Friday, or 11am on Saturday. The same studio, the same arrangements, the same approach — wherever they're going. Shop all flowers → · Check delivery areas →

Are Lilies Toxic to Cats?
This is one of those questions that feels minor until it isn't. Lilies are among the most toxic plants a cat can encounter. Not mildly unpleasant — genuinely life-threatening. A cat that chews a single petal, licks pollen from its fur after brushing against a stem, or drinks water from a vase containing true lilies can develop acute kidney failure within 24 to 72 hours. Without prompt veterinary treatment, the outcome is often fatal. If you have cats, or you're sending flowers to someone who does, this matters more than most people realise. Which lilies are toxic to cats?The most dangerous belong to the Lilium and Hemerocallis (daylily) families. This includes Easter lilies, tiger lilies, Asiatic lilies, Oriental lilies, stargazer lilies and rubrum lilies — some of the most widely used stems in floristry and among the most commonly gifted flowers in the UK. Every part of these plants is toxic to cats: the petals, leaves, pollen and even the water in the vase. A note on pollen-free lilies: they are sometimes marketed as a safer option. They are not. The toxin is present throughout the entire plant, not just the pollen. Pollen-free lilies remain dangerous to cats. Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) and calla lilies (Zantedeschia) are a separate category — not true lilies, and not associated with kidney failure, but still capable of causing oral irritation, drooling and vomiting if ingested. Less critical, but not safe. Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) is also toxic — not botanically a lily, but often grouped with them, and serious for different reasons. It affects the heart rather than the kidneys, causing abnormal heart rhythms that can be fatal. What are the symptoms?Signs of lily poisoning in cats typically begin within one to six hours of exposure. Early symptoms include vomiting, lethargy and loss of appetite — easy to dismiss as a minor stomach upset. As kidney damage develops over the following 24 to 48 hours, you may notice increased or decreased urination, dehydration and disorientation. By 72 hours, kidney failure can be irreversible. The difficulty is that early symptoms look like nothing much. If you know or suspect your cat has had any contact with a true lily — eaten any part of the plant, groomed pollen from its fur, or drunk from the vase — do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Contact your vet immediately. This is an emergency. What to do if your cat is exposedTime is the critical variable. Call your vet or an emergency animal hospital straight away. The sooner treatment begins, the better the prognosis. Treatment typically involves induced vomiting if caught quickly, followed by intravenous fluids to support kidney function over 48 hours or more. In the UK, the Animal PoisonLine (01202 509000) provides 24-hour specialist telephone advice for pet owners concerned about poisoning. If you cannot reach your vet immediately, this is your next call. The same applies if you're unsure. Any possibility of exposure should be treated as an emergency. What to send insteadIf you're ordering flowers for a cat household — or choosing what to keep in your own home — most of what we work with at Saints is safe. Roses, alstroemeria, orchids, snapdragons, lisianthus and the majority of seasonal foliage pose no serious risk to cats. A few stems worth being aware of beyond lilies: tulips can cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested, daffodils are toxic, and chrysanthemums can cause irritation. The ASPCA's toxic plant database and the Blue Cross UK's plant guide are the most comprehensive references if you want to check a specific stem. The short version: true lilies and cats do not mix. If there's any doubt, choose something else. The arrangement will be just as considered, and considerably less risky. Shop cat-safe arrangements →
