Our verdict on each
Freddie's Flowers
Freddie's Flowers suits people in GB and DE who want a recurring flower habit with a long freshness guarantee and free delivery. Bouquets start at £28 and subscriptions sit alongside letterbox flowers, so you pay subscription prices on top of the entry figure if you go that route.
Patch: Plants
Patch: Plants suits anyone in the UK buying houseplants on a tight entry price, with plants from £5 and a freshness guarantee of 30 days. The trade-off is range and speed, since it sells plants only and same day delivery is not offered.

Pros and cons
Freddie's Flowers
Pros
- Delivery costs £0 on every order, so the £28 entry price is close to what you pay
- A freshness guarantee of 10 to 14 days runs well past the 7 upper quartile among subscription brands
- Subscriptions sit alongside bouquets and letterbox flowers in the bouquets, letterbox flowers and subscriptions list
Cons
- Same day delivery is no, so gifts with a fixed date need planning ahead
- The £28 entry price sits at rank 14 of 27 brands, so cheaper entry points exist
- The 10 to 14 days guarantee is the standout benefit but there is no plant or dried flower line, unlike Fleurop
Patch: Plants
Pros
- Plants start at £5, and the shop places 2 of 27 on price from in the comparison.
- A freshness guarantee of 30 days, which holds 2 of 20 on that measure.
- Cheaper than a bouquet: the entry figure of £5 compares with Serenata Flowers and Blumenshop, which also sell bouquets and letterbox flowers.
Cons
- Plants only: the range is plants, so a buyer who wants a bouquet as well has to place a second order with Serenata Flowers or Blumenshop.
- Same day delivery is not offered, so a plant wanted for a particular day cannot be relied on.
- No phone line: support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a complicated return has to be handled in writing.

Who it suits
- UK buyers who want a single plant rather than a flower gift, and who weigh the entry price first.

- Shoppers who prefer help in writing or in chat, since support runs on email, chat and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone buying a bouquet or a letterbox gift, since the range is plants; Serenata Flowers covers the flower side of that need.

Questions about each
Freddie's Flowers
How much do flowers cost at Freddie's Flowers?+
Bouquets start at £28. Delivery is listed at £0, so the entry figure is not padded with shipping on a standard order. Subscriptions are charged on top of the bouquet you pick, so a recurring plan costs more than the £28 starting price suggests.
Does Freddie's Flowers offer same day delivery?+
Same day delivery is no, so a gift that has to land today will not work here. Plan a day ahead instead. The order cutoff of 8pm sets how late you can order for a planned delivery slot, so earlier ordering gives you more choice of timing.
Patch: Plants
What does a plant cost at Patch: Plants?+
Plants start at £5, the figure shown across the product range. That is the shelf price, so the delivered cost sits above it once £4.90 for delivery is added. Budget the plant price plus delivery rather than the entry figure alone.
Is there a delivery fee on top of the plant?+
Yes. Delivery is £4.90 on an order, charged on top of the plant price, so a small order carries a proportionally large share of it. Since the range begins at £5, a single cheap plant plus delivery can cost noticeably more than the plant price suggests.
