Birmingham florists, by part of the city
Fifty shops across eight corners of Birmingham. On most errands the right question is not which florist is best, it is which good one is nearest to where the flowers have to arrive. Start here.
Read this first: it is all opinion
Every judgement on this site is personal opinion. One flower-obsessed Brummie’s subjective read on fifty shops, written up like a notebook. The opinions are not those of the owner of this domain, who commissioned the research but takes no view on any florist named here and endorses none of them.
Nothing here is a statement of fact about any business. The assessments are built from publicly available information: the florists’ own websites, their published hours, service lists and prices, business directories, and reviews other customers have left in public. No shop paid to appear, and none was shown its entry in advance. See exactly what gets measured or read the full disclaimer.
Pick a part of the city
3 florists
Jewellery Quarter
Three shops in a few hundred yards, kept honest by the engagement-ring trade above them. The most concentrated florist competition in the city.
Top of the list here: In Bloom, Lily Jones Florists, Red Rose Florist.
5 florists
City Centre
Shops shaped by offices, arcades, hotels and stations. Strong weekday trade, formal work, and the two Victorian arcades where the rent is lower than the postcode suggests.
Top of the list here: Petals of Piccadilly, Daisy Florist, Ethos Flowers and 2 more.
5 florists
Harborne & Edgbaston
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Calthorpe Estate between them set the tone: the highest prices in the city outside the studios, and the best wedding work.
Top of the list here: Floral Scenter, The Flower Garden, Tiddly Tulips and 2 more.
4 florists
Moseley & Kings Heath
Where Birmingham's independent retail actually works. Flowers have followed the bakeries and the breweries down the Alcester Road and into Stirchley.
Top of the list here: Winspers Floral Designers, Ash Tree Floral Designs, hedge and 1 more.
6 florists
Bournville & the South
The Bristol Road corridor, and the best value in the city. Two shops here have been trading for close to fifty years, and one grows what it sells.
Top of the list here: Buttercups & Daisies, Sarah Kelly's Flower Room, The Flower Centre and 3 more.
9 florists
Sutton Coldfield & the North
A town Birmingham absorbed in 1974 that still behaves like a market town, plus the dense, price-sensitive high streets of Great Barr, Kingstanding and Handsworth.
Top of the list here: Wildwood Florist, Wylde Green Florist, Roses Florist and 6 more.
4 florists
Erdington & Castle Bromwich
Home to the oldest flower shop on this list, at ninety years and counting, and to some of the clearest funeral pricing anywhere in the city.
Top of the list here: Clover Blooms, Williams Florist, Lulu's Flowers and 1 more.
11 florists
East Birmingham
The biggest section and the widest range. Fifty-year-old Coventry Road shops, a Chelsea gold medallist, and the Asian wedding trade most round-ups pretend does not exist.
Top of the list here: Urban Design Flowers, Fiesta Flowers, Petals of Madinah and 8 more.
3 florists
Citywide
No shopfront at all. Studio florists who exist through delivery, commissions and the occasional pop-up, and who want you to ask about minimum spend first.
Top of the list here: Victoria Flowers, Paradise Blooms, Pollen Floral Joy.
Or skip the geography
If you would rather compare on quality than on distance, the full ranking of all fifty is filterable by area too. And if you are ordering for delivery rather than collection, the part of town matters less than the shop's cut-off time, which the buying guide covers.
