Get well soon flowers have one job: to lift a room, say “we are thinking of you” and ask nothing of the person receiving them. Every bouquet on this page is hand-tied to order in our London studio in SE1 and delivered across London the same day on orders placed by 10pm, seven days a week; elsewhere in the UK a hand-tied bouquet travels by courier in 2–3 working days.
What Works as a Get Well Bouquet
- Light, clean colours. White spray roses with eucalyptus, white hydrangeas, cream gerberas and chamomile daisies read as fresh air rather than ceremony. Soft blues and pastels sit well in a bedroom; deep reds belong to another occasion.
- Little or no scent. Someone recovering may be sensitive to perfume, so this collection leans on roses, hydrangeas, gerberas and daisies and leaves heavily scented lilies to other pages. If you would like a scented bouquet anyway, say so in the order comment.
- Easy to live with. A compact hand-tied posy fits a bedside table and needs only a glass of water. If there may be no vase to hand, a vase can be added to any bouquet at the basket (London delivery only).
What Is on This Page and What It Costs
Around fourteen bouquets sit here at any time, from £29 for a small white matthiola and eucalyptus posy, with most of the collection between £40 and £120 and the largest hydrangea bouquets around £300. Each design comes in several sizes, so the same bouquet can be a bedside posy or a statement for the whole room. For more of the same mood, browse white flowers, yellow bouquets and sunflowers; for a child in bed, a helium balloon set (London only) does the cheering up. For a long recovery, a potted orchid or peace lily from our plants page outlasts any bouquet by weeks.
Sending Flowers to a Hospital in London
Check before you send. Many London hospitals do not allow fresh flowers on wards — intensive care and some surgical wards almost never do — and the rules differ between trusts and even between wards in the same building. Ring the ward first, or send the bouquet to the person’s home so it is waiting when they are discharged. If the hospital does accept flowers, put the full name, ward and bed number in the address, add the recipient’s phone number, and expect the bouquet to be left with the ward reception rather than carried to the bed.
Delivery
Same day across London on orders by 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays. A same-day order is delivered during the day, between 9am and 11pm; for a future date you choose a morning, afternoon or evening window at checkout — see next-day flower delivery in London. Outside London, hand-tied bouquets go by courier in 2–3 working days (UK flower delivery); vases, baskets and balloons are London only. Flowers stay fresh for at least three days from delivery when the care instructions are followed, or we replace the bouquet — our flower care guide explains what to do when they arrive.
Get Well Flowers — Questions We Are Asked
Which flowers are best for someone who is unwell?
Bright or clean colours, low scent and sturdy stems: gerberas, spray roses, hydrangeas, chamomile daisies and matthiola all last well in a warm room and do not overpower it. Avoid strongly scented lilies and anything that drops pollen. If the person has allergies, a potted plant is kinder than cut flowers.
Can you deliver get well flowers to a hospital?
Yes, where the hospital accepts them. Check with the ward first, because many London wards do not allow fresh flowers; if they do, give the ward and bed number and the recipient’s phone number in the order. When in doubt, send to the home address instead.
Can you deliver get well soon flowers today?
Yes. Order by 10pm and the bouquet is delivered the same day anywhere in London and Greater London, seven days a week, with no weekend surcharge. Outside London, delivery takes 2–3 working days.
What should I write on the card?
Short and warm works best: “Thinking of you — get well soon”, “Rest up, we miss you at work”, or a line about what you will do together once they are better. Type the message in the card field at checkout and it goes out with the bouquet.
Is a plant better than a bouquet?
For a long recovery, often yes: an orchid or a peace lily lasts for weeks with very little attention. For a hospital stay or a short illness, a bouquet gives the lift on the day it arrives.
