Our verdict on each
Appleyard
Appleyard is the pick for UK shoppers who want same day flowers, a subscription and a 7 day freshness guarantee in one basket. Entry price of £35.98 and a £5.99 delivery charge put it mid-table on cost, so value seekers should weigh that before ordering.
Interflora
Interflora suits anyone in the UK who wants flowers sent far and wide without fuss. Its GB, IE and GG market reach and 7 day freshness guarantee make it a steady choice, though the £7.65 delivery fee adds up on small orders.

Pros and cons
Appleyard
Pros

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.
Interflora
What does Interflora charge at entry, and what is the delivery fee on top?+
Flowers start at £25, and a delivery fee of £7.65 is added on top. That fee is the part worth watching, because on a small gift it takes up a large share of the total. On a larger order it spreads across more stems, so the cost per flower falls.
How long is the freshness guarantee on Interflora orders?+
The freshness guarantee runs for 7 days, and Interflora ranks 3 of 20 on that measure. It sits at the stronger end of the flower delivery category, which matters most for birthdays and anniversaries where arrival day matters.
