Buttercups & Daisies has the most consistent third-party recognition of any florist in Birmingham: named among the city's three best-rated florists every year for seven consecutive years, 2019 through 2025. One award is marketing. Seven in a row, unbroken through the pandemic, is a pattern, and it comes alongside 140 reviews on Direct2Florist and a shop that has quietly become the default recommendation for the whole south western quarter of the city. The operation is built around delivery rather than footfall, which is the right call for a Somerford Road address. Same-day covers Harborne, Edgbaston, Moseley, Selly Oak and Bournville on a 2pm cut-off, and the shop has partnerships with local funeral directors, which is the least glamorous and most reliable revenue in floristry. If you are arranging a funeral in south Birmingham there is a fair chance this shop is already known to the director handling it. Where it is less compelling is price and personality. Bouquets run from £49.99 to £74.99, which is city-centre money for a suburban shop, and the range is broad and safe rather than distinctive. Hatboxes, balloons, teddy bears and chocolates sit alongside the flowers. It is a very well-run business that has decided what its customers want, and what they want is not a point of view.
Same-day delivery runs on a 2pm cut-off across Harborne, Edgbaston, Moseley, Selly Oak, Bournville and the surrounding south west, with national and international orders handled through a partner network. The wedding side includes what the shop calls luxury designer collections, and funeral tributes are a core strand rather than an add-on. The shop is independent and describes itself as such, which is worth noting given how many Birmingham florist websites belong to networks rather than premises.
Best for
Funeral flowers in south Birmingham, where the funeral-director relationships genuinely smooth the process, and for anyone who wants a shop with a long, checkable record of getting orders right.
What I would order
Phone the shop and give a budget rather than buying a listed bouquet, because the listed prices start high and the shop will build to a number. For funeral work, mention the director and let them coordinate it.
Worth knowing
Prices start at £49.99, which is above what the same money buys further east in the city, and the range is conventional. Nothing is published about seasonality or sourcing. The Three Best Rated listing is a directory award rather than an industry one, so read it as consistency rather than as a mark of craft.
Named among Birmingham's three best-rated florists every year from 2019 to 2025.
Who it is not for
Anyone who wants seasonal, design-led work. Tuckshop Flowers is two miles east in Bournville and is the opposite proposition in every respect.
How it compares
The Flower Centre on Bristol Road South covers much of the same territory with a longer history and lower prices. Buttercups has the better ordering experience and the stronger review record; The Flower Centre has the better value.
Getting there
Somerford Road in Weoley Castle, off the Barnes Hill and Weoley Castle Road side of the city. There is on-street parking nearby and the 23 and 24 bus routes run close. Selly Oak station is about a mile and a half away.
Where this assessment comes from
Desk research only. The award record, prices, delivery cut-off and coverage are taken from published sources and corroborated across listings. The remark about funeral-director partnerships is the shop's own claim. The value judgement is a comparison against the published prices of the other entries here.
Sources consulted: The shop's own website and its Harborne, Moseley and Kings Heath delivery pages, its Direct2Florist profile and 140 reviews, the Three Best Rated listings for 2019 to 2025, and the Wanderlog and Floom Birmingham entries.
