International Flower Delivery

International Flower Delivery to South Africa, Handled Locally in Cape Town

Let us be clear upfront. We do not deliver internationally. We are a Cape Town florist with studios in Claremont and Sea Point, and we deliver inside South Africa. What this page solves is the other half of the equation: you are overseas, the person you love is back home, and you want flowers or a gift in their hands by the end of the day. Place the order from wherever you are sitting, pay in your local currency, and our team takes it from there. Every bouquet is hand-tied by a real florist, every hamper is packed in our studio, and every delivery is checked before it leaves. The same service the locals get, ordered by you from London, Sydney, Toronto, Los Angeles, Auckland, or Dubai.

Sending Flowers to South Africa from the UK

The UK is our biggest diaspora market. Brits with South African parents. South Africans who moved to London in the 2000s and never stopped sending flowers home on their mother's birthday. The time difference works in your favour: our same-day cut-off is 12 pm South African time, which is 11 am in London during British Summer Time and 10 am in winter. Pay in GBP at checkout, we convert for you. Our flower bouquets, rose bouquets, and protea bouquets are the three most-ordered collections from the UK, and our Cape Town Protea Bouquet is our top seller because it is unmistakably South African. If you are missing home yourself, send proteas. They land differently. Full UK-specific details, time zones, and GBP checkout on our sending flowers to South Africa from the UK page.

Sending Flowers to South Africa from Australia and New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand customers need to mind the time difference the other way. Sydney is six hours ahead of Cape Town, Auckland is ten. If you want same-day in Cape Town or Johannesburg, order the night before your time, or by about 8 pm to 10 pm local, and we will have it out the next morning. Pay in AUD or NZD at checkout. Our get well soon flowers, sympathy flowers, and birthday flowers get the highest volume from AU/NZ diaspora, usually for parents back home. If flowers feel too much, a gift hamper with biltong, chocolate, and a handwritten card travels the same day inside Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Sending Flowers to South Africa from the USA and Canada

The USA and Canada are eight to ten hours behind us. For same-day, order by about 1 am to 3 am local (not ideal), or plan ahead and choose a future delivery date at checkout. Pay in USD or CAD. Our chocolates, teddy bears, and baby gifts are especially popular with North American diaspora sending for new baby arrivals, birthdays, and get-well gestures. A Florist Choice Bouquet is our safest option if you cannot decide: our team picks the freshest flowers on the day and builds something beautiful around your budget.

Sending Flowers to South Africa from the UAE

The UAE runs two hours ahead of South Africa year-round. Our same-day cut-off is 12 pm South African time, which is 2 pm in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or anywhere else in the UAE, comfortably inside your workday. Order in a coffee break, pay in USD at checkout, and your UAE bank converts to AED at its usual rate (AED is pegged to USD so there is no real exchange rate movement). Our Cape Town Protea Bouquet is the signature UAE send, with luxury flower bouquets and luxury Cape Town gift hampers close behind for Dubai-based senders who want something premium. Full UAE-specific details, time zones, and USD/AED checkout on our sending flowers to South Africa from the UAE page.

What You Can Send

Anything in our store can be ordered from overseas, paid for in your currency, and delivered in South Africa. Fresh hand-tied flower bouquets (same-day Cape Town and Johannesburg only). Gift hampers and get well soon hampers with wine, chocolate, biltong, bath products, and snack selections. A Cape Town Protea Bouquet for anyone who is homesick for fynbos. A Brilliantly Happy Bouquet for a birthday lift. A Lily Bouquet for someone fragile. Add chocolates, a teddy bear, or a bottle of wine to any order. Every gift goes out with a handwritten card, no extra cost, so your message lands in your own words.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

Order before 12 pm South African time and we deliver the same day across Cape Town. Our Claremont and Sea Point studios cover the Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, City Bowl, Constantia, Camps Bay, Clifton, Century City, Newlands, and Rondebosch. See our Cape Town flower delivery page for the full suburb list and our hospital flower and gift delivery page if the recipient is in a ward.

Same-Day Delivery in Johannesburg

Same rule: order before 12 pm South African time. Our Johannesburg team covers Sandton, Rosebank, Bryanston, Morningside, Randburg, Fourways, Kensington, and most of the surrounding suburbs. See our Johannesburg flower delivery page for the full coverage map.

Nationwide Gift Delivery for the Rest of South Africa

If the person you are sending to lives outside our metro footprint, fresh flowers will not survive the courier journey. What does travel beautifully is our nationwide gift delivery range: hampers, gift boxes, chocolates, and non-perishable gifts that arrive looking the way they left the studio. Delivery is two to four business days to anywhere a courier will reach, from Stellenbosch to Durban to Polokwane.

Paying in Your Local Currency

Checkout converts to your local currency automatically. GBP, USD, AUD, NZD, CAD, and EUR are all live. No awkward bank transfers, no surcharges, no working out exchange rates at midnight. Your credit card is billed in your home currency, and we handle everything in ZAR on the delivery side.

Not Sure What to Send Home?

If you are overthinking it, three easy rules. First, consider the setting. Hospital, home, or office each call for a slightly different gift. Second, consider the person. Someone who loves flowers, pick a bright bouquet. Someone who prefers practical, send a hamper with coffee and snacks. Someone going through a hard stretch, keep it soft (a Classic White Bouquet or Pure Snow Rose Bouquet always lands well). Third, if you are still stuck, our Florist Choice Bouquet lets our team decide on the day using what is freshest. It has never let us down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver flowers internationally?

No. We are a Cape Town florist and we deliver only inside South Africa. What we do is take orders from anywhere in the world, paid for in your local currency, and deliver to the recipient in South Africa the same day (Cape Town and Johannesburg) or within two to four business days (nationwide gift boxes and hampers).

Can I send flowers to South Africa from the UK?

Yes. Pay in GBP at checkout. For same-day Cape Town or Johannesburg delivery, order before 12 pm South African time (11 am in London during BST, 10 am in winter). Our full flower bouquets range is available, and the Cape Town Protea Bouquet is especially popular with UK-based South Africans sending flowers home. Full UK-specific details on our sending flowers to South Africa from the UK page.

Can I send flowers to South Africa from Australia or New Zealand?

Yes. Pay in AUD or NZD. Because of the time difference, order the night before your local time for next-day same-day delivery in Cape Town or Johannesburg. Plan ahead for specific dates like birthdays and anniversaries using the calendar at checkout.

Can I send flowers to South Africa from the USA or Canada?

Yes. Pay in USD or CAD. Same-day is tricky given the time zone gap, so most of our North American customers schedule deliveries a day or two in advance using the delivery date picker at checkout.

Can I send flowers to South Africa from the UAE?

Yes. Pay in USD at checkout and your UAE bank converts to AED at its usual rate (AED is pegged to USD so there is no real exchange rate movement). For same-day Cape Town or Johannesburg delivery, order before 12 pm South African time (2 pm in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or anywhere in the UAE). Full details on our sending flowers to South Africa from the UAE page.

Which South African cities do you deliver to same-day?

Cape Town and Johannesburg only, with orders placed before 12 pm South African time. For the rest of South Africa, our nationwide gift delivery range ships within two to four business days.

Can I send flowers to a hospital in Cape Town or Johannesburg from overseas?

Yes. We deliver to every major hospital in both cities and label arrangements clearly so ward staff know where they are headed. If the recipient is in oncology, ICU, or a respiratory ward, leave a note at checkout and our team will call ahead to confirm flowers are allowed. See our hospital flower and gift delivery page for the full hospital list.

How much does international flower delivery to South Africa cost?

The flowers and gifts are priced the same as any local order. Delivery inside Cape Town and Johannesburg is a flat fee that appears at checkout. Nationwide gift box delivery is courier-based and calculated by postcode. Your bank may add a small foreign transaction fee, but we do not charge any international surcharge on our side.

Can I send a card or personal message?

Every order includes a handwritten card at no extra cost. Add your message at checkout. Keep it specific: a line that references something real (a shared memory, a private joke, a reason you miss them today) almost always lands better than a generic "thinking of you".

Can I order for birthdays, funerals, or Mother's Day from overseas?

Yes. All of our birthday flowers, anniversary flowers, sympathy flowers, get well soon flowers, and get well soon hampers collections are orderable internationally. For Mother's Day flowers, Valentine's Day flowers, and Christmas, order at least 48 hours ahead to be safe. Peak days book up fast.

What is the latest I can order for same-day delivery?

12 pm South African time. Convert to your local time zone: 11 am London (BST) / 10 am London (winter), 2 pm Dubai, 8 pm Sydney (previous evening), 6 am Toronto, 3 am Los Angeles. For anything later, choose the next delivery date at checkout.

Are my card details safe?

Yes. Our checkout runs on Shopify's PCI-compliant payment system, the same infrastructure used by major global retailers. We never see or store your card number.
