Mother's Day

Mother's Day Flowers That Tell Her She Is Loved Out Loud

Mums notice everything: the phone call you almost forgot, the card written in a hurry. That is why Mother's Day flowers work. A hand-tied bouquet arriving at her door says you planned this, you pictured her face, and you wanted her to feel it. Every stem we send is conditioned, arranged and wrapped by a real florist at our Claremont studio, the same way we have done it since 1999.

Mother's Day Flowers by Type, From Classic Roses to Proud Proteas

If she loves soft and classic, start with roses, still the most-sent Mother's Day flower in South Africa. If she is proudly local, a protea bouquet makes a statement no imported bloom can match. For the mum who does sunshine, sunflowers are pure joy in a wrap. Browse the full range of flower bouquets, or choose from our vase-ready flower arrangements so she never has to hunt for a vase or trim a stem.

Torn between options? The Florist Choice Bouquet lets our florists tie the freshest stems of the morning in whichever palette suits the day, and the Fabulous You Flower Arrangement arrives arranged in its own vase, ready for her kitchen table.

Mother's Day Flower Delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg

Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and our own drivers will place her bouquet at her door the very same day. Our same-day flower delivery runs in both cities, with Cape Town flower delivery from Claremont to Camps Bay and Johannesburg flower delivery from Sandton to Fourways. One honest note: fresh flowers travel same day in both cities, but Johannesburg gift boxes go by courier rather than with our drivers, so allow 2 to 4 business days for those.

Mother's Day Gift Pairings That Turn Flowers Into a Whole Morning

Flowers open the door; a little spoiling keeps her there. Pair her bouquet with our bath and body gift sets for a slow Sunday soak, or add something from champagne and wine for the toast she deserves. The Love and Light Flower Gift Set does the pairing for you, and the wider Mother's Day gift ideas collection covers everything in between. Stuck for inspiration?
