Lilies

Choose fresh lilies and lily bouquets

Fabulous Flowers lists 21 lily designs available today, from R515. Two are lily-led: the Lily Bouquet at R1,280 and Lovely Lily's Flowers at R520. The rest are mixed designs where lilies sit alongside roses, gerberas, chrysanthemums, snapdragons or delphiniums. If you want lilies and nothing else, start with those two.

Important information for cat owners

True lilies are dangerous to cats. Eating any part of the plant, or licking pollen off fur, or drinking vase water, can cause kidney failure. Keep lilies out of any home with a cat, and if you suspect exposure contact a vet the same day rather than waiting for symptoms. Common names mislead here: calla and arum lilies are not true lilies and irritate the mouth and throat instead, so neither is safe for a cat either. If there is a cat in the house, say so in your order notes and our florists will send something else.

Lily bouquet or lily arrangement?

A lily bouquet arrives wrapped for the recipient's own vase. A lily arrangement is built into the container it arrives in and needs no vase. Our range runs roughly two bouquets to every arrangement. The White Purity Vase Arrangement is the arrangement most people choose, sized from small up to Fabulous. Our wider flower arrangements range has more.

How much do lilies cost?

Lily designs start at R515 and the median lowest-variant price is R1,155. Prices checked 9 August 2026 across the 21 designs available today.

Several designs price by size, so the grid shows the smallest option. Nothing in the lily range sits under R500.

Choosing lilies by colour and scent

White and pink dominate the current range, with a few brighter designs in orange and multicolour. Scent depends on the botanical group: Oriental lilies are generally large and strongly perfumed, Asiatic lilies are often brightly coloured and unscented, and Longiflorum and trumpet types can be scented. Fabulous Flowers does not publish the group for each design, so if fragrance matters, ask us before you order.

Lily delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg

Pink Lily and Rose Bouquets

Browse this collection for pink lily bouquets and mixed lily and rose bouquets. A pink lily and rose bouquet combines the height and shape of lilies with the fuller form of roses. Available flowers, shades and delivery areas vary by design, so check the current product photograph and description before ordering.

Caring for cut lilies

Start with a clean vase and mix the flower food as directed. Recut the stems, strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline, and change the water every few days. Keep the vase cool, away from heaters and direct sun. This applies to cut lilies in water, not to foam arrangements or potted plants. Our guide to caring for flowers in a vase covers the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Are lilies safe around cats?

No. True lilies can cause kidney failure in cats, including through pollen and vase water. Keep them out of any home with a cat and contact a vet the same day if you suspect exposure. Calla and arum lilies are not true lilies but are not cat-safe either.

How should I care for a cut lily bouquet?

Use a clean vase, mix the flower food as directed, and recut the stems before they go in. Strip any leaves that would sit under the water, change the water every few days, and keep the vase cool. Vase life varies by variety and room.

How much is a bouquet of lilies?

Lily designs at Fabulous Flowers start at R515, with a median lowest-variant price of R1,155 on 9 August 2026. Of the 21 designs available, 8 sit between R500 and R999, 11 between R1,000 and R1,999, and 2 at R2,000 or more.

Can I order a pink lily and rose bouquet?

Yes, when a suitable design is available. Browse this Lilies collection for pink lily bouquets and lily-and-rose combinations. Each product page confirms the flowers, colours, price and delivery area.

What flowers go well with lilies in a bouquet?

Roses are the most common partner in our range, followed by gerberas, chrysanthemums, snapdragons, alstroemeria and delphiniums. Lilies carry height and scale, so they pair well with rounder blooms that fill in beneath them.

Where can I buy a bouquet of lilies?

Order lilies online from Fabulous Flowers. Our florists make them up in our Claremont studio in Cape Town and deliver to most Cape Town and Johannesburg suburbs on eligible same-day orders placed before 12pm, Monday to Saturday.

Which lilies suit a sympathy send?

White lilies are the traditional choice, and our range leans white. A vase arrangement travels better to a funeral home or an office than a wrapped bouquet, because it needs no vase at the other end. Our sympathy flowers range gathers the full selection.
