Letterbox flowers are fresh stems carefully protected inside a slim delivery box designed to fit through most standard UK letterboxes.

The flowers arrive in bud rather than fully open. This helps protect them during delivery and allows the recipient to enjoy watching the bouquet bloom at home.

Each delivery also includes flower food and easy care and arranging guidance.

Orders placed before 10am can qualify for free next-day delivery, seven days a week, excluding bank holidays.

Standard deliveries are sent using Royal Mail Tracked, and the recipient usually does not need to be home.

The stems are delivered in bud to protect the delicate petals and help the bouquet last longer. Each box also includes flower food and straightforward care and arranging instructions.

The recipient simply trims the stems, places them in fresh water and enjoys watching their bouquet open over the following days.
