Best flower subscription services for 2023

If you want to show someone you care, forget the stereotypical red roses. Buy a flower subscription and shower your loved one with seasonal, sustainable blooms all year long.

Fresh flowers can make all the difference to a room. They bring life, colour and fragrance into your home, and some studies have shown they even have the power to reduce blood pressure, pain and anxiety in those around them. Sending a joy-filled bouquet to a loved one on a monthly basis is a thoughtful way to show your heart-felt appreciation for everything they do - and a flower subscription takes care of that for you.

More and more businesses are offering convenient fresh flower deliveries as monthly subscriptions. And most champion seasonal British flowers and sustainable practices by sourcing stems ethically or locally and sending them in recyclable packaging. Whether you want flowers you can send through the letterbox or pre-arranged displays, simply choose a style and subscription that suits your budget.

We've already already listed our favourite plant subscription services, so here we're focussing on the UK’s best flower subscription services. Whether you want to treat a loved one or give yourself the gift of filling your home with a regular supply of fresh blooms, take a look at the fantastic options below.

Here's more on why roses are not the best to buy on Valentine's Day.

By Bloom

Best single-variety bouquets

Price: From £35 | Rate: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly| Subscription Length: Flexible

In contrast to the many varied floral arrangements available to buy through subscription, By Bloom offers bunches of just one type of flower. Not only does this approach reduce waste, it also gives you a less fussy and more informal look, as if you’d just gathered the blooms from your garden.

The flowers come from growers across the UK and Europe, and they’re selected by the famous London-based florist Larry Walshe.

By Bloom is another brand to consider if you prioritise sustainability. It sends out all its arrangements in 100% recyclable packaging and aims to plant enough trees to offset its carbon footprint from production processes, packaging, deliveries and office operations.
