Fresh flowers are sold everywhere in Singapore now: supermarkets, nurseries, mall shops, market stalls and online florists. The catch is that "fresh" means very different things at each one, and so does what happens when something goes wrong. A bunch from a supermarket bucket usually can't be returned. A bouquet that turns up late for a birthday dinner can't be un-late.

So this time we scored every place on the list out of 100, and we gave the most weight to what you get if things go wrong: the guarantees. We also compared their Google reviews properly, not just the star average but how many reviews there are and how many are 1-star. Here is where to buy fresh flowers in Singapore, depending on what you need.

Who wrote this, and how it is ranked. This guide is written by Singapore Florist. We sell flowers, so we are not neutral, and we would rather say so upfront. We chose places 1 and 2 ourselves: our own shop first, then Windflower Florist. As it turns out, those two are also the top two on score alone, and you can check every point below. Places 3 to 10 are ranked purely by score. Every place, ours included, is scored out of 100 with the same rules, using only what each business publishes itself and what its customers say on Google, checked on 29 October 2026. Singapore Florist's Google rating on this page updates live.

How we score each place

Every place gets points out of 100 from the same five checks. We only counted what a business publishes itself, on its website or policy pages, and what its customers say on Google. Figures were checked on 29 October 2026.

What we check Points Full marks means
Guarantees 30 A free order if it's late, a replacement or refund if it arrives wrong, a delivery photo, clear cancellation rules, swaps only for better flowers, and a price promise
Google reviews 25 A high star rating, lots of reviews, and very few 1-star reviews
Delivery and freshness 20 Same-day islandwide, a late cut-off, free delivery, a choice of time slots, and bouquets made on the day
Range 15 Everything from bouquets and stands to hampers, wedding flowers, plants and loose stems
Price and value 10 A real fresh bouquet for $40 or less, with prices and delivery fees shown before you pay
See the exact scoring rules

Guarantees (30):

  • On-time promise: 8 points for "on time or the order is free" (or a full refund), 4 for an on-time or same-day promise that doesn't say what you get if it's late, 0 for none.
  • If it arrives wrong: 8 for a published replace-or-refund with a time limit, 5 for a replacement, exchange or store credit only, or a "we'll make it right" promise, 3 for walk-in shops where you see the flowers before paying, 0 for none.
  • Delivery photo: 4 if every delivery gets one, 2 if only some or on request.
  • Cancelling: 4 if the published rules give you money back for cancelling in time, 2 if they only offer store credit, case-by-case handling or no refund, 0 if we found no rules.
  • Substitutions: 3 if the business publishes that it only swaps in flowers of equal or higher value.
  • Price promise: 3 for a published price-match or price-beat guarantee.

Google reviews (25):

  • Rating: 12 points at 5.0 stars, falling to 0 at 4.0 stars or below.
  • Number of reviews: up to 8 points, full marks at 1,000 reviews or more (so 100 reviews gets 5.3 and 10 reviews gets 2.7).
  • 1-star share: 5 points with no 1-star reviews, falling to 0 when 15% or more are 1-star.
  • Supermarkets and IKEA have Google ratings for the whole store, not their flowers, so they get no review points.

Delivery and freshness (20): same-day islandwide 5 (2 if only on request), latest same-day order time 4 (3pm or later) / 3 (noon to 3pm) / 2 (before noon), free delivery 4 (on most bouquets) / 2 (only on big orders), time slots 3 (several slots plus express) / 2 (several slots) / 1 (one window), made on the day 4 (says bouquets are arranged on the delivery day) / 2 (made to order).

Range (15): 1.5 points for each of: hand bouquets; boxes, vases and table pieces; opening stands; condolence stands and wreaths; hampers; wedding flowers; corporate orders or subscriptions; preserved, dried or artificial; potted plants and orchids; loose stems or wholesale.

Price and value (10): cheapest fresh bouquet on sale 6 ($40 or less) / 5 ($50) / 4 ($60) / 3 ($80) / 2 ($100) / 1 (more), plus 4 if prices and delivery fees are both shown online before you pay (2 if only the prices are).

Places 1 and 2 are set by us, as explained above. Places 3 to 10 are in score order.

Placed first by us because it is our shop. Scored with the same rules as everyone else.

This is our shop, so read this entry knowing that. Singapore Florist has been delivering flowers here since 1987, and every bouquet is still arranged by hand on the morning it goes out, at our studio in Eunos Techpark. It comes first on our list, and it also comes first on the scores: it is the only place we checked that publishes every one of the six guarantees we look for, from a free order if we miss your time slot to a price promise.

Below is everything you would want to know before ordering: what happens if something goes wrong, the real delivery cut-offs, and a walk through every collection with its current starting price.

What happens if something goes wrong

  • On time, or it's free. If your order doesn't arrive within the delivery slot you booked, the whole order is free.
  • Arrived damaged? We replace it or refund you. WhatsApp us a photo within 24 hours of delivery. Not happy for any other reason? Tell us within 24 hours and we'll make it right.
  • A photo when it's delivered. Every delivery comes with photo proof, so you know it arrived, even if you are overseas.
  • Flowers only get swapped up, never down. If a flower runs out, we use similar or better blooms of the same or higher value, so the look stays the same.
  • We'll beat a real quote. Show us a written quote from another Singapore florist for the same arrangement and delivery, and we'll come in lower. See the price promise terms.
  • No surprises at checkout. No GST is added, the message card is free, and delivery is free islandwide on orders from $35 ($8 below that).
  • Clear cancellation rules. Cancel 48 hours or more ahead and you get 80% to 95% back. Later than that, 50%, because the flowers have already been bought for you.
  • The surprise stays a surprise. Our "No Spoiler" service keeps the sender and the gift a secret until it's at the door.

Delivery times and cut-offs

Same-day delivery runs seven days a week, while slots last (busy dates like Valentine's Day fill up early). This table reads from the same delivery system our studio uses, so it stays up to date:

Delivery slot Days Order by Fee
10 AM to 2 PM Mon-Sat 8:00 AM Free from $35
2 PM to 6 PM Mon-Sat 12:30 PM Free from $35
5 PM to 9 PM Mon-Fri 3:30 PM +$25 evening slot
11 AM to 3 PM Sundays 8:30 AM Free from $35
1-hour express (latest 4:30 to 5:30) Mon-Fri 3:30 PM +$25

You can also collect from the studio at 60 Kaki Bukit Place, Eunos Techpark, Monday to Saturday from 10am, and on Sundays from 11am. Ordering for someone in Singapore from abroad? Our guide to sending flowers from overseas converts every cut-off into your time zone.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

Good fit

  • Gifts where the timing matters: birthdays, anniversaries, hospital visits, wakes.
  • Sending from overseas, with a delivery photo as proof.
  • Anyone who wants a written guarantee before paying.
  • Companies that need stands, hampers or regular office flowers.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to see the exact bouquet before you pay: a walk-in shop is better.
  • You only need a $10 bunch for the dining table: a supermarket is cheaper.
  • You need same-day on a Sunday afternoon: our Sunday cut-off is 8:30am.

Placed second by us. Scored with the same rules as everyone else.

Windflower started as a family flower shop at Loyang Point in 1997. Stanley, the founders' son, took it over in 2014 and launched the Windflower Florist brand in 2016, and it now says it has delivered more than 200,000 bouquets. Vulcan Post and Her World have both written about the second-generation story.

What puts it second is the review count. With 1,765 Google reviews at 4.8 stars, it has more reviews than every other florist on this list put together, and only 27 of them (1.5%) are 1-star. The topics Google picks out of its reviews are led by bouquets, fresh flowers and flower quality.

The promises are strong too. If an order misses its booked standard delivery slot, that order is free. Every delivery comes with proof of delivery, flowers are only swapped for similar or better blooms, and if you're not satisfied you can contact them within 24 hours of delivery and they'll make it right. We'd like to see that last one spell out a replacement or refund, and we found no price promise, which is where it drops points against us.

The range covers hand bouquets, tulips, hydrangeas, preserved and dried flowers, congratulatory and condolence stands, hampers (fruit, gourmet and wine, wellness, cake and ice-cream bundles), wedding flowers, corporate orders and wholesale. Two things stand out: flower subscriptions you can set weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and flower arrangement workshops if you'd rather make your own. Its classic red roses, A Study in Red, start at $48, and prices include GST.

GuaranteeReplaced free if damaged (tell them within 24 hours)
DeliveryFree, no minimum (extra for express and some times)

That Flower Shop works out of a stall at Telok Blangah Market and has been selling flowers since 2018. Its best point is delivery: same-day delivery is free with no minimum spend, every day, and you can order as late as 5pm for delivery before 10pm. It also sends you a WhatsApp photo when the flowers are dropped off.

If a bouquet arrives damaged or below standard and you tell them within 24 hours, they replace it at no charge. There's no refund promise, and the cancellation rules are unclear: a 2018 terms page that is still online says orders can't be cancelled. Its same-day promise also doesn't say what you get if it's late.

Bouquets start at $29.99 for a single rose and $35 for a small baby's breath bouquet, and the range is wide for a small shop, from stands and hampers to wedding flowers. The catch is the reviews: 4.7 stars, but from only 12 on Google. Also check the product page for extra charges on express delivery, public holidays and Sentosa.

GuaranteeFree replacement if reported within 24 hours
DeliveryFree, but $15 on items under $40

Little Flower Hut started in 2010 and sells online, with a WhatsApp line and a 24-hour phone hotline. Its 722 Google reviews at 4.6 stars are the second-highest count on this list after Windflower, and reviewers often mention fast replies, hampers and last-minute orders. About 9% of its reviews are 1-star, though.

Same-day delivery runs Monday to Saturday, not on Sundays or public holidays: order by 12pm for 2pm to 5:30pm, or by 5pm for 7pm to 10pm. Delivery is free except for a $15 charge on items under $40, and there are paid extras for express, exact times, Sundays and public holidays.

If the flowers arrive in poor condition, email photos within 24 hours and they send a replacement of the same value, not a refund. Its policy says there are no refunds once you order: cancelling more than 48 hours ahead costs 25%, and within 48 hours you lose the full amount. The homepage advertises a price match with money back, but we couldn't find the terms. Bouquets start at $28.88 for a single rose.

GuaranteeCase by case, store credit only
DeliveryFree standard delivery

Ana Hana Flower, founded in 2018, has changed since we first wrote this guide. It now makes preserved flowers only, and its homepage says it stopped selling flowers that fade in days. So it is here for one reason: if you want real flowers that last for months without water, it is a specialist, with 317 Google reviews at 4.8 stars and only about 3% at 1 star.

Preserved bouquets, domes and boxes start at $78. Standard delivery is free, same-day delivery works if you order before 2pm, and express can arrive in about 90 minutes for a fee shown at checkout.

It scores low on guarantees. It says it does not guarantee delivery within a time slot, doesn't take returns, and gives no cash refunds: problems are handled case by case, with store credit. If you need fresh flowers, pick someone else on this list.

DeliveryPer trip, free above $150

Sing See Soon says it has been around since 1879, the oldest name on this list, but the business has changed a lot. Its website now sells online only, its Simei branch has closed, and the shop runs as Lifestyle@SingSeeSoon by Kava Experiences. Older guides, including an earlier version of this one, sent you to Thomson Road for wholesale stems. Its site no longer mentions either.

Online, you'll find bouquets from $60, flower subscriptions for offices, and loose stems such as carnations in bundles of 20 for $25. Same-day delivery costs $8 extra for a 4pm to 7pm window if you order by 1pm. Delivery is charged per trip ($20 on its FAQ, $40 on product pages, before GST) and is free above $150.

Fresh flowers can't be refunded. If they arrive badly damaged, report it the same day for an exchange or store credit, which expires after 3 months. On Google, its Punggol nursery listing (Sing See Soon Floral & Landscape) is rated 3.6 from 143 reviews, with 23% at 1 star.

FairPrice Online lists more than a thousand fresh flower and plant products, but they all come from marketplace sellers such as JM Flower, Noel Gifts and Ferns n Petals, not from FairPrice itself. That means next-day delivery at the earliest (FairPrice's help pages say 2 to 4 days for marketplace items), delivery fees set by each seller, and FairPrice's own free-delivery threshold doesn't apply.

It is the cheapest way to send fresh flowers we found: a single-carnation bouquet for $14.50, or three roses for $32.50. And FairPrice's return policy does cover you: send photos of a defect within 3 days of delivery and you can get a refund.

Some FairPrice Finest stores have also carried ready-made bunches in store, so check your nearest outlet. There are no Google reviews of the flowers themselves, only of each store.

GuaranteeNone published

Flower Matters is the walk-in option, with six shops: Millenia Walk, ION Orchard, The Centrepoint, Joo Chiat Road, Punggol Coast Mall and Alexandra Retail Centre (closed on weekends and public holidays). You can see the flowers, pick what you like and walk out with it, which removes the biggest worry with ordering online.

Delivery is the weak spot. Online orders normally need 24 hours' notice, same-day is by request only, and the site doesn't state delivery fees, refunds or a freshness policy (its shipping page still shows template text). Bouquets start from $90 for a florist's choice and $100 for named designs, with stands from $200.

Across its six Google listings there are 103 reviews averaging about 3.6 stars, and 28% are 1-star, with outlets ranging from 2.6 to 4.5. Results seem to depend on which shop you visit.

Cold Storage, around since 1903, is where you grab flowers during the grocery run. Press guides say many outlets carry ready-made bouquets for under $20. It is walk-in only, though: none of its online shop categories include flowers, so there is no delivery, and what you find depends on the outlet.

There's no guarantee on in-store flowers and no review score for them, so look the bunch over before you pay (the freshness checklist below helps). Fine for the dining table, risky for a gift.

Earlier versions of this guide listed IKEA for cut flowers, but its Singapore website doesn't list any fresh cut flowers today. What it does sell is cheap live plants, from $2.90, in its Tampines, Alexandra and Jurong stores only (they can't be delivered), plus artificial and dried flowers online.

Plants are left out of IKEA's 365-day return policy, so check them in the store. For greenery around the flat it's hard to beat on price. For flowers to give someone, look higher up this list.

How the reviews compare

A star average on its own hides a lot. A 4.7 from 12 reviews and a 4.8 from 1,765 are not the same thing, and a shop can keep a decent average while a quarter of its reviews are 1-star. So here are the full numbers, read from each Google listing on 29 October 2026:

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

IKEA IKEA Tampines 4.4 (19,383), Alexandra 4.3 (13,836): reviews of the whole store
Cold Storage Rated outlet by outlet, for the whole supermarket
FairPrice Rated outlet by outlet, for the whole supermarket

Three things stand out. Windflower Florist has far more reviews than anyone else, 1,765, and the smallest share of 1-star reviews (1.5%). Singapore Florist and Ana Hana Flower both hold 4.8 stars with about 3% 1-star, from a few hundred reviews each. Little Flower Hut sits a little lower at 4.6, with about 9% of its reviews at 1 star.

At the other end, That Flower Shop's 4.7 rests on just 12 reviews, so a single bad day moves it a lot. And at Sing See Soon's Punggol nursery and across Flower Matters' six mall outlets, roughly a quarter of all reviews are 1-star (23% and 28%), which is why they score low on reviews even though plenty of their customers are happy. Supermarkets and IKEA have no Google reviews of their flowers, only of the whole store, so you are buying on looks alone.

Guarantees side by side

This is the part most lists skip. Here is what each place publishes about what happens when something goes wrong:

Flower Matters No You check in store No No No No 3/30
Cold Storage No You check in store No No No No 3/30
IKEA No You check in store No No No No 3/30

Only Singapore Florist publishes all six. Windflower Florist matches it on the big one, a free order if a standard delivery slot is missed, and on the delivery photo and the swap rule, but its "we'll make it right" promise doesn't spell out a refund.

Among the rest, That Flower Shop is the only one that promises same-day delivery and sends a photo, though it doesn't say what you get if it's late. Little Flower Hut and Sing See Soon will replace or exchange flowers that arrive damaged, but neither gives refunds, and Ana Hana Flower offers store credit only. FairPrice can refund a fresh item with a defect if you send photos within 3 days. At the walk-in places you check the flowers yourself before paying, and IKEA's 365-day return policy doesn't cover plants.

How to tell if a bouquet is actually fresh

Wherever you buy, here's the quick check florists use:

  • Stem ends: they should look freshly cut, pale green or white, not brown or slimy.
  • Petals: crisp and firm, not papery or browning at the edges.
  • Leaves: yellow or droopy leaves usually mean the bunch has been sitting too long.
  • Water (in store): cloudy water in the bucket means bacteria, which can finish a bouquet within a day.
  • Smell: roses and lilies should smell faintly floral. A musty smell means they're on the way out.

For a delivered bouquet you can't check any of this before paying, which is exactly why the guarantees matter. Our hand-tied bouquets are made the morning they go out, so they leave the studio passing all five.

So where should you buy fresh flowers in Singapore?

It depends on what the flowers are for.

  • A gift that has to arrive on time: buy from an online florist that puts its guarantee in writing. Singapore Florist and Windflower Florist are the two here that publish "on time, or it's free".
  • Free same-day delivery, ordered late: That Flower Shop takes same-day orders until 5pm with no minimum spend.
  • Hampers, or a question at 2am: Little Flower Hut has a 24-hour phone line.
  • Flowers that don't need water: Ana Hana Flower now makes preserved flowers only.
  • A cheap bunch for home: pick one up at Cold Storage, or add a bouquet to a FairPrice Online order if next day is fine.
  • Seeing it before you pay: walk into a Flower Matters shop at ION Orchard, Millenia Walk, The Centrepoint or Joo Chiat.
  • DIY stems: Singapore Florist's wholesale packs of 10 to 20 roses start at $29.90, delivered, and Sing See Soon sells carnations in bundles of 20.
  • Greenery for the flat: IKEA's potted plants, from $2.90.

FAQs about buying fresh flowers in Singapore

What is the best time to buy fresh flowers?

In the morning, when new stock comes in. For delivery, what matters is the cut-off: most online florists need your order by around noon for same-day afternoon delivery. At Singapore Florist that's 12:30pm on weekdays and Saturdays, or 3:30pm on weekdays for the 5pm to 9pm evening slot.

How long do fresh flowers last?

Most fresh flowers last 5 to 10 days with care. Trim the stems at an angle, change the water every two days, and keep them out of direct sun. Orchids and carnations usually outlast roses and tulips.

Are supermarket flowers a good option?

For flowers for your own home, yes, they're the cheapest. But you usually can't return them if they droop early, and supermarket bouquets either aren't delivered at all or arrive next day at the earliest. For a gift, a florist with a written guarantee is the safer buy.

What are the best flowers for long-lasting arrangements?

Chrysanthemums, orchids, lilies and carnations last longer than roses and tulips. A potted orchid can keep flowering for weeks, and preserved flowers last for months.

Is it cheaper to buy flowers from a supermarket or an online florist?

Usually the supermarket. Press guides put in-store bunches at under $20, and FairPrice Online's cheapest is a single-carnation bouquet for $14.50. Online florists start from about $29 for a single stem and $35 to $40 for a small bouquet, but that includes the arranging, a message card and usually free delivery.

Which florist in Singapore has the best guarantee?

Of the 10 places we checked on 29 October 2026, Singapore Florist publishes the most: on time or the order is free, a replacement or refund if it arrives damaged, a delivery photo, cancellation refunds, swaps only for better flowers, and a price promise. Windflower Florist has the same on-time promise for its standard slots.

How did you score these places?

Out of 100: guarantees 30 points, Google reviews 25, delivery and freshness 20, range 15, and price 10. We only used what each business publishes itself and what its customers say on Google. The full rules are in the scoring section of this guide.

How do I tell if a florist's Google reviews can be trusted?

Look past the star average. Check how many reviews there are (a 4.7 from 12 reviews can swing on one bad day), what share are 1-star, and whether recent reviews mention the things you care about, like on-time delivery and flowers that look like the photo.
