Pros and cons
Appleyard
Pros
- Same day delivery is available, alongside next day delivery, so urgent gifts are covered.
- The range spans bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants, which means bouquets, plants, subscriptions and dried flowers sit in one basket.
- A 7 day freshness guarantee backs every order, and the return window is 14 days.
Cons
- Delivery adds £5.99 on top, so a £35.98 order is not the full outlay.
- The entry price of £35.98 places the brand toward the expensive end on price, at position 20 of 27.
- The catalogue runs in GB only, so buyers outside the UK cannot use it.
Flowers & Plants Co.
Pros
- One catalogue covers bouquets, plants and subscriptions, so a plant and a bouquet can come from the same seller.
- Same day delivery is available, and the order cutoff is 6pm.
- Entry price of £29.99 is a visible figure, and delivery is charged at £5.95 to £6.95.
Cons
- The freshness guarantee is 0 days, so flowers that arrive tired carry less cover than elsewhere.
- Delivery is charged at £5.95 to £6.95 on top of the £29.99 entry price.
- The range covers GB, so buyers outside the UK have no market here.

Questions about each
Appleyard
What does a first Appleyard order cost?+
Bouquets start at £35.98, and delivery is charged on top at £5.99. The two figures sit together, so the amount you see on the shop is the start of the spend rather than the whole cost of getting flowers to the door. Larger arrangements push the total higher.
How fast can Appleyard deliver?+
Same day delivery is available, and next day delivery is offered as well, which covers planned as well as urgent orders. The same day option is the reason many buyers pick this seller over a florist that only offers a next day window.
Flowers & Plants Co.
What does the first bouquet cost?+
Entry is £29.99, the lowest price on the flower collection. Delivery is charged on top at £5.95 to £6.95, so your real total is higher than the headline figure. Add both together to compare fairly with another seller.
What happens to the price at renewal?+
The entry price of £29.99 is the visible anchor and no separate introductory rate is listed. That means repeat orders are judged against the same figure. Subscriptions appear in bouquets, plants and subscriptions, so check the terms on that page for how regular deliveries are billed.
