Sending flowers for mother's day
Mother's Day (Mothering Sunday in the UK) falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent — typically in March. It's the second biggest flower occasion in the UK, and for good reason: flowers are one of the most universal ways to say 'thank you' to someone who has given so much. Whether it's your mum, grandmother, mother-in-law, or the mother of your children, a beautiful bouquet is a gesture that never misses.
UK Mother's Day typically falls in mid-to-late March. Most major florists offer named-day delivery and sell out of popular bouquets the week before. Order at least a week in advance. Letterbox bouquets are ideal if your mum won't be home on the day. Many florists offer free delivery on Mother's Day bouquets — compare total prices to find the best deal.

Tips for choosing mother's day flowers
Spring flowers are best
Mother's Day falls in March when British tulips and daffodils are at their peak. Seasonal, British-grown flowers will be fresher, last longer, and often cost less than imported alternatives.
Order a week ahead
Mother's Day is one of the busiest delivery days of the year. Order at least 7 days in advance to guarantee your preferred bouquet and delivery slot on the day.
Consider a plant
A potted orchid or rose plant lasts weeks or months — a more unusual gift that will remind her of you every day. Many florists offer orchid plants with chocolates or champagne as an add-on.
Add a personal message
A thoughtful, personal card elevates any bouquet. Write something specific — a memory, a thank you, something only the two of you share. It will matter more than the flowers themselves.
