FLOWER & PLANT DELIVERY SERVICES

Treat your mum this Mother’s Day. We ordered 120 bouquets and 125 plants to find the delivery services you can trust…

WINNER FLOWERS Bloom & Wild

bloomandwild.com; prices from £22-£300 An easy-to-use website and colourful selection of flowers. Every bouquet arrived on the chosen day, packaged securely and looking pristine, and all of our testers found they lasted well.

RUNNER-UP FLOWERS Flower Station

flowerstation.co.uk; prices from £39-£110

Finding the perfect bouquet is easy; you can filter your search by colour and flower type. Ours all arrived on time, in top condition, and outlasted the seven-day freshness guarantee by five days.

JOINT WINNER PLANTS Patch

patchplants.com; prices from £3-£240 with a £25 minimum spend

This plant shop performed so well that our panel all said they’d use it again. Each leafy arrival was accompanied by detailed care instructions. The only issue is next-day delivery isn’t always available.

JOINT WINNER PLANTS Appleyard London

appleyardflowers.com; prices from £21.99-£234.99

If you’re after something different, you’ll find nearly 40 carefully curated plants among Appleyard’s range. Ours arrived promptly, looking lush and as pictured online, with an easy-to-follow care guide.

✶ HOW WE TESTED The GHI sent plants and bouquets from 22 online delivery services to 190 readers, who fed back on their order’s arrival, packaging and health. In-house testers also ordered from each brand to assess the ordering process, delivery options, care guidance and quality. We even made spelling errors on gift cards to see if they were amended; most weren’t, so always check your message!
