The Best Flower and Plant Services That Ship Quickly

Surprise bouquets are a great way to brighten someone's day or make a holiday extra special. You can schedule these orders well in advance or make the order at the last minute and the receiver will never know. If your local florist is already booked full for Mother's Day and isn't offering delivery right now, or your loved one lives far away, these online sources can get the flowers they deserve in time. We've rounded up the best companies with floral and even potted plant delivery services in the U.S. Take a look at our favorites below and bookmark these companies for birthdays, anniversaries and any other gifting occasions this year.

The Bouqs Company

We're a big fan of The Bouqs Co. here at HGTV. As a former florist of six years and a current shopping editor and writer for HGTV, Morgan Faulkner recently received the Buttercream arrangement from The Bouqs Co. and was seriously impressed with the quality. "With proper care and maintenance, the bouquet stayed looking great for an entire week," she said. "Because the stems come pre-cleaned of foliage and beautifully arranged, all the recipient has to do is give the stems a fresh cut and place them into water. (They even include a packet of flower food!) While I encourage shopping with your local florist when you can, I highly recommend The Bouqs Co. if you're looking to send flowers long-distance or even just to treat yourself to a happy arrangement of fresh blooms," she said.

The arrangements from The Bouqs Co. are cheerful, whimsical and ethically sourced. The company sources directly from farms around the world but only partners with eco-friendly farms that “minimize waste, recycle water and use sustainable growing practices.” Depending on your location, The Bouqs Co. select bouquets are available for next-day and even same-day delivery. They also have several collaborations for Mother's Day this year worth checking out.

Farmgirl Flowers

Part of the fun of a gift is the gift wrap — even when it's mailed in a cardboard box — and Farmgirl Flowers does a great job of presentation. The San Francisco-based company's signature burlap-wrapped bouquets feature burlap from recycled coffee bags from local roasters near their headquarters and a hand-tied ribbon. With nationwide shipping and next-day shipping, you can send their popular Thirty Something: 30 Pink Peonies bouquet this Mother's Day. You can also enjoy 20 percent off with HGTV's exclusive code HGTV20 until May 9.

1-800-Flowers

Down to the wire? 1-800-Flowers has a whole page just for same-day delivery with tons of options. These cheerful bouquets are ideal for all occasions, from Mother's Day and birthday arrangements to chic centerpiece designs. For Mother's Day, the Fields of Europe Spring bouquet features an array of blooms inspired by the floral markets in Europe in a colorful arrangement tied together by raffia string.

Urban Stems

For the most gorgeous, borderline-bridal-magazine level, swoon-worthy flowers, it’s a (bouquet) toss between Urban Stems and Grace Rose Farm, below. Urban Stems curates incredibly trendy designs, colors, florals and foliage, and even has an exclusive line of bouquets designed by fashion powerhouse Vogue. Depending on your location, same-day delivery is available on select orders.

For an extra-sweet Mother's Day, consider a bundle option like The Sweet Classic, which features The Margot bouquet paired with Levain Bakery's signature 8-pack cookie assortment.

Grace Rose Farm

Grace Rose Farm is a family-run farm in California that prides itself on its ethically grown and harvested heirloom garden roses. They specialize in unique colors and varieties of roses, which can be purchased in individual bouquets, as well as weekly and monthly subscriptions. Additionally, Grace Rose Farm sells stunning rose bushes and potted roses, so there's something for every kind of rose-lover. While not all of their roses are available for next-day arrival, many stunning options are.

Fresh Sends

Looking for an easy-to-pick bouquet that never disappoints? Look no further than Fresh Sends. The trendy flower delivery service only offers a select variety of flowers and prides itself on sending only the freshest stems each and every time, wrapped in the brand's signature newspaper print, The Fresh Times.

Benchmark Bouquets

Did you know that Amazon has floral delivery services? Several Amazon shops are selling fresh-cut floral bouquets and arrangements, and it's hands down the easiest way to order flowers because it's all through Amazon, often with free Prime shipping and sometimes Prime overnight shipping, depending on your location. The Amazon store, Benchmark Bouquets, has several pretty arrangements for less than $50 with Prime shipping. Even better, some of their bouquets benefit the Life Is Good Kids Foundation, which helps children heal from early childhood trauma.

FTD

FTD has been in the floral business forever, and they have tons of quality bouquets for less than $50. Plus, they frequently run deals on a dozen roses (colors vary) for $25. And if you do procrastinate, they have a variety of options for same-day delivery based on your location.

ProFlowers

ProFlowers, an FTD company, has so many different kinds of bouquets, from tie-dyed roses to a gardenia topiary. Some of their designs are really out there, but if you’re looking for something unique that you can’t find at the grocery store, this is your spot. Plus, they have a large assortment of bouquets eligible for same-day shipping if you order before 2 p.m.

Edible Arrangements

Yes, you can get flowers from Edible Arrangements! The FruitFlowers collection pairs beautiful blooms with indulgent fruit. Food and flowers? Few things are better than that duo! Of course, if you want classic, non-edible flower arrangements, the company sells those, too.

The Sill

If you prefer flowering plants over bouquets, The Sill is the best place to shop for yourself and others. The retailer has an entire section dedicated to flowering houseplants, as well as full pages categorized for trees, plants, faux plants, and orchids. Another highlight of the brand? Each plant is clearly labeled to indicate whether it's pet-friendly and easy to care for.

Bloomscape

You can't talk about potted plant shipments without mentioning Bloomscape. There are so many sizes to shop, from tiny windowsill pots to XL floor planters. And the site makes choosing the best plant to gift a breeze. There are pages for low-maintenance, low-light and pet-friendly plants, but we really love the page just for plants that are said to bring good luck. These make the perfect present for a housewarming, birthday or any other occasion where congratulations are in order.

Venus et Fleur

Venus et Fleur was the first forever flower brand to market in the U.S. and continues to be the preserved rose brand with dozens of rose colors and container materials to choose from. The signature hat boxes start at $44, but there are also collections with elevated materials, such as their new Mother's Day collection Heirloom Wicker. Keep in mind: The prices are much higher than a bouquet from the grocery store, but these flowers last much longer. Preserved roses — if properly taken care of — can last one to two years, which is a much more sustainable gift. Complimentary shipping is one to six days; however, the company also offers express and overnight delivery.

Ode à la Rose

Ode à la Rose is a flower delivery service owned by two French men who were inspired by Paris and passionate about bringing its floral allure to the States. "In France, flowers aren’t just something you send: They tell a story on your behalf. From the variety to the number of stems, from the color choice to the composition, bouquets carry meaning, heart, and passion. Picking the right one is a tall order," the site reads. With this in mind, each Ode à la Rose bouquet is designed with the utmost care to help shoppers lean into Parisian culture while falling head over heels for gorgeous stems. The brand offers same-day delivery in major metropolitan areas and next-day delivery everywhere else.
