How will your flowers be packaged?
All our flowers are wrapped in biodegradable colored cellophane or recycled paper. For London deliveries, they are presented in our flower bags, while for nationwide deliveries, they are packaged in our signature box. We’ve designed your experience to be as enjoyable as possible while also prioritizing sustainability. Our packaging is fully recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. Additionally, we use FSC Mix Certification for our boxes, bags, stationery, and stickers.
Our Colombian flowers come from FSF certified farms. This unique, voluntary certification scheme aims to improve workers’ quality of life while ensuring that growers meet environmental standards, thereby reducing the impact these farms have on our planet.
Where are your flowers sourced from?
Where are your flowers sourced from?
We source a large portion of our flowers from UK growers during the months when it’s possible, but we also import from abroad to maintain a year-round selection for our customers. Our imported flowers are sourced from Florverde Sustainable Flowers (FSF) certified farms in parts of the developing world, allowing us to support these communities through trade. Florverde farms not only use sustainable resources but also prioritise mindful water consumption, emissions reduction, organic fertilisation methods, and responsible waste disposal.

Please note that substitutions may also be necessary when flowers are nearing the end of their season.

How do I care for my plant?
The plants we source are relatively low-maintenance, but it’s important to care for them properly. You can find general care instructions in the product description of each plant. As a general tip, avoid over-watering your plant. While plants thrive in well-lit areas, they do not favor too much direct sunlight, so consider the placement carefully.

If your plant doesn’t meet your expectations in terms of appearance or size, please contact our customer service team within 24 hours of receiving your order. We will do our best to accommodate exchanges and returns, provided you reach out within the given time frame.

What happens if the recipient is not in for delivery?
For London deliveries, when placing your order, you can specify your delivery preferences, including instructions for when no one is home.

Unfortunately, failed deliveries will incur a re-delivery charge, with re-delivery scheduled for the next business day.
For nationwide deliveries, you will receive a tracking link from our courier company informing you when your order is on its way. If the recipient is not available at the time of delivery, our courier will follow their standard process, which may include re-delivery, leaving the package in a safe place, or delivering it to a local pick-up location.
