How to Choose the Right Flowers for Mum
Not all mums are the same, and neither are their flowers. This guide makes it easy to find exactly what she'd choose herself, whether she fills the garden with colour, loves the drama of a statement bloom, or just deserves something quietly beautiful.

Chosen for Mother's Day
Peonies
The most indulgent flower we stock. Full, layered and quietly dramatic - peonies are for the mum who appreciates beautiful things and has absolutely earned them.
Shop Peonies
Hyacinths
One stem fills a room. Hyacinths are for the mum who loves a home that smells as good as it looks - intense, sweet and unmistakably spring.
Shop Hyacinths
Tulips
Clean lines, beautiful colour, and that rare quality of looking intentional rather than just pretty. Tulips suit the mum with a clear eye and a tidy windowsill.
Shop Tulips
Oriental Lilies
Few flowers earn their place the way lilies do - arriving tightly budded and opening slowly over days. A gift that keeps going long after the occasion.
Shop LiliesFlowers That Fill the Room
Some flowers are quiet. These ones announce themselves. If Mum loves a home that smells as good as it looks, start here.
Sweet, heady and unmistakably spring. One stem is enough.
Shop hyacinths →Soft and citrusy with a clean freshness. A perennial favourite.
Shop freesias →Rich, exotic and long-lasting. Fills the room as the buds open.

What Our Customers Say
I spoke to James before Christmas as I wanted to order flowers for our daughter in law as a Christmas present and wanted them delivered each month from January to March.He was very helpful and got it all set up. The 1st arrived in January and they were lovely and the 2nd arrived this week and they were even better such a lovely selection of beautiful flowers.

My experience was 1st class. I had a small query on the delivery date and they responded to me almost immediately. I received my order on time, very fresh, bigger than expected and I would have no hesitation in ordering again. Thank you Flowers by Flourish, I am delighted with my order.

The two bunches of eucalyptus I ordered were huge! More than enough to fill two vases, I'm so happy with my purchase. They smell fantastic and were delivered as scheduled. Thank you!

Did a monthly year subscription to make my daughter's 30th birthday last the year. She really looked forward to the surprise each month and sent me photos. The company were great when I had to postpone for a month. The flowers were of very good quality too. Thank you all very much.

I ordered peonys for my friends birthday. Most florists don't have peonys in August. They arrived in beautiful condition and have lasted over two weeks. They can supply any flowers in season. It's the second time I have bought from them and both times they have been amazing. The owner is charming.

I’ve had a subscription with Flowers by Flourish for a year to date and they have been absolutely wonderful a lovely delivery each month - worth every penny. Thank you.
August 2025
I received a delivery from Flowers by Flourish of 5 large, white hydrangeas, carefully packaged with obvious care. The hydrangeas are, quite simply, exquisite. They give me joy every time I look at them. I have had many beautiful flowers from Flowers by Flourish but these hydrangeas are in a class of their own: jaw-droppingly stunning. A five star review for five star flowers.
