Lulu's Flowers has built eighteen years and 123 published reviews out of a Slade Road shop that is open for fewer hours a week than almost anything else in this guide. Weekdays run nine to four, Saturday nine to one, closed Sunday. That is thirty-five trading hours, and the shop has still accumulated one of the larger review counts in north Birmingham, which suggests the hours are a deliberate fit to when its customers actually buy rather than a sign of a business winding down. Slade Road runs between Erdington and Stockland Green, and the catchment is residential, settled and not wealthy. The shop serves Erdington, Maney and out towards Sutton Coldfield, with both a landline and a mobile published, which is a small signal that somebody answers when the shop is shut. The work is conventional and the prices suit the area. There is no house style, nothing published about sourcing, and the range is narrower than the bigger Erdington and Sutton shops. What there is instead is a long, consistent record of orders going right, which for most of what people buy flowers for is the thing that actually matters. One small note for anyone searching: the address appears as both 512 and 521 Slade Road across different directories, and the shop's own site gives 512.
Trading is Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm, closed Sunday, from the Slade Road shop. Delivery covers Erdington, Maney, Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding northern areas, with national fulfilment through Direct2Florist, where the shop carries 123 reviews. Contact is by both landline and mobile, and the shop has been trading for around eighteen years.
Best for
Reliable everyday orders in Erdington and Stockland Green, and for anyone who values a long, boring, consistent review record over a portfolio.
What I would order
Ring in the morning; the shop shuts at four and at one on Saturday, so afternoons are not a safe bet. Give a budget and let them build to it rather than choosing from the network catalogue.
Worth knowing
The hours are genuinely short: nothing after 4pm on a weekday and nothing after 1pm on a Saturday. The address is inconsistent across directories, 512 versus 521 Slade Road. No published prices and nothing stated about sourcing.
Closes at 4pm on weekdays and 1pm on Saturday, the shortest daily hours in this guide.
Who it is not for
Anyone who needs to buy in the afternoon. Clare-Zoe is a mile east on Mason Road and open until three on Thursdays and Fridays.
How it compares
Clare-Zoe is the closest comparable Erdington shop and publishes its delivery fees, which Lulu's does not. Lulu's has the longer record and the larger review base. A mile north, Williams Florist on Erdington High Street has ninety years to Lulu's eighteen and publishes even less. For anything with a deadline, Lulu's is the easier of the two to actually buy from.
Getting there
Slade Road, between Erdington and Stockland Green, on frequent bus routes and about a mile from Gravelly Hill station. There is on-street parking nearby.
Where this assessment comes from
Desk research only. Hours, contact details and the delivery area are taken from the shop's own pages; the review count from Direct2Florist on a single date. The founding year shown is derived from a stated eighteen years of trading rather than a documented date. The address discrepancy is noted rather than resolved.
Sources consulted: The business's own website and contact page, its Direct2Florist profile with 123 reviews, the Birmingham Post directory record, Yell, the Cylex Erdington listing, and its Facebook page. The eighteen-year trading claim is carried in the directory listings.
