Featured Get Well Flowers

Order get well flowers online from Lily's Florist and we'll have them delivered same day, anywhere in Australia, Monday to Saturday. Our Florist's Choice Get Well Bunch starts at $71.95 plus $16.95 delivery, and our partner florists design each one fresh using the brightest stems in store that morning. We've been doing this since 2009. Family owned, Australian run, and backed by over 23,000 independent Feefo reviews. Scroll down and we'll walk you through exactly what to send, especially if the person you're buying for is in hospital. We've learned a lot about that.

Sending Flowers to Someone in Hospital

Most people ordering get well flowers are doing it in a bit of a rush. Someone's had surgery, or they've been admitted unexpectedly, and you want to do something. We get hundreds of these calls every year and the first thing our team will ask is whether the person is in hospital or recovering at home. It changes what you should send.

Hospital rooms have no vase. No scissors. No bench space. The person receiving them probably can't get out of bed to unwrap a bouquet and trim stems. That's why we recommend boxed arrangements for every hospital delivery. The box is the arrangement. Set it on the bedside table and it looks finished. No fuss, no maintenance, and nothing for the nurses to deal with. Browse our hospital flowers range or our flower arrangements and you'll see what we mean.

We hired Anna because she'd spent fifteen years making flowers and we hadn't spent fifteen minutes. She's our qualified florist turned bookkeeper, originally trained in North Carolina, and she has strong opinions about hospital deliveries. Her biggest one is about scent.

One Feefo customer put it well:

Anna reads reviews like that as a quality signal. Gerberas lasting from admission to discharge tells her the florist selected properly and the stems were conditioned before they went into the box. A pretty photo means nothing if the flowers are brown by day three.

If the person you're sending to has just had surgery and is in ICU, the flowers will be delivered to the hospital but nurses won't bring them into intensive care. They'll hold them at the nurses' station until the patient moves to a regular room. When you order, make sure you include the hospital name, the ward, the bed number, and the recipient's mobile. We won't call them to spoil the surprise unless we absolutely have to.

Recovering at Home

Different situation entirely. They've got a kitchen, a sink, a vase. Bouquets work beautifully here because the recipient can actually enjoy the ritual of unwrapping, trimming, and arranging. Brighter colours work too. You're cheering someone up in their own space, not navigating a clinical environment.

Our flower bunches are popular for home recovery, especially paired with chocolates. If budget is a factor (and with medical bills, it often is), take a look at our flowers under $60 range. Every product starts from $28.

Another customer, ordering from the UK for her daughter after surgery:

We hear this story every week. People ordering from interstate or overseas for someone who's unwell. A mum in Perth buying for her son in Brisbane. A daughter in London ordering for her nan in Wagga. That's the whole reason our network of 800+ partner florists exists. Your order goes to a real, local florist near the recipient. They make it fresh that morning and deliver it by hand.

Not Sure What to Send?

If you're stuck, go with our Florist's Choice Get Well Bunch at $71.95. You pick the occasion and budget, our florist picks the stems. They'll read your card message and design something that fits. It takes the pressure off and honestly, florists do their best work when they have creative freedom because they can use whatever is freshest in store that day.

For something more specific, our get well flowers range includes bunches with teddy bears, get well balloons, and chocolate add ons. Or if you're thinking the situation might be more serious than "get well", our thinking of you flowers and sympathy flowers might be more appropriate. There's no wrong answer here. The act of sending matters more than the specific arrangement.

How to Order Get Well Flowers

Order online anytime or call us on 1300 360 469 during business hours (Mon to Fri 7am to 6pm, Sat 7am to 12pm). For same day delivery, get your order in before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. Those cutoffs exist for a reason. Anna explains it simply: flower metabolic rates spike in the afternoon heat, especially in summer, and delivery vans can hit 45 degrees inside during peak hours. Our florists route their deliveries to avoid extended time in hot vehicles, and the cutoffs give them enough runway to make and deliver your arrangement while conditions are still manageable.

We don't deliver on Sundays (except Mother's Day). Flower markets close Saturday afternoon, so Sunday stock would be Friday's flowers with two days already behind them. We'd rather hold your order for a Monday morning delivery with fresh market stems than send something that's already lost a third of its vase life.

Delivery is $16.95, which we subsidise. The actual cost is often higher, but we absorb the difference.

After you order, your arrangement gets routed to a partner florist close to the delivery address. They make it fresh and deliver it by hand. If you need to make changes after ordering, email [email protected] or call us. If anything goes wrong with your delivery, contact us within 24 hours with photos of both sides of the arrangement and we'll sort it out. Phone, email, or live chat. Your choice.
