My name is Siobhan. Andrew and I have run Lily's Florist since 2009 and North Hobart holds a genuinely special spot for us because of how often we've wandered through it over the years, especially during our big Tasmania trip in 2024.

How Our Partner Florists in North Hobart Work

You might be wondering how flowers ordered through a website in NSW end up fresh and beautiful at a doorstep in North Hobart. I get asked this all the time.

We have real partner florists with real shops in and around Hobart. When you place an order, our system routes it to the florist closest to where the flowers are going based on the postcode and what stock they have that day. If you order 24 red roses and our nearest partner only has 18 left, the order automatically goes to the next closest florist who can fill it. Simple as that.

* This is how our process works. You order: we connect you with a local florist, they hand-deliver. No post and no boxes.

These florists are proper trained professionals with their own shops, their own staff, their own delivery drivers. They take pride in what they make because their name is on it too, even if Lily's Florist is the brand you ordered from. We charge them zero membership fees, which is pretty rare in this industry. Instead, we ask them to add a few extra stems to each bouquet to cover our small commission. That means you get more flowers in your bunch than you would with competitors who charge florists hefty fees that get passed on to you somehow.

The difference you notice is freshness. Our flowers are made that morning in Hobart, not assembled in a Sydney warehouse three days ago and shoved into a box for overnight post. I've seen what arrives from those competitors. Petals crushed, stems snapped, water leaked everywhere. It's honestly depressing when flowers, which are supposed to make someone's day, turn up looking like they've been through a washing machine.

Ordering Flowers to North Hobart

You can order two ways and both are pretty quick.

Online: Browse our website, pick your flowers, enter the North Hobart delivery address, choose your date, add any extras like chocolates or a teddy if you want, and checkout. You don't need to create an account. We built a one page checkout years ago because we figured out that most people ordering flowers are doing it from work, usually in a rush, probably during their lunch break. The last thing you need is to fill out 47 fields and verify your email twice.

Phone: Call 1300 360 469 and speak to someone from our team in Armidale, NSW. All our staff are Australian, all based here, and a few of them are ex florists themselves which means they can actually help you choose something rather than just reading a script. We're available Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturdays 7am to 12pm.

For same day delivery to North Hobart, get your order in before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. After those times, your flowers go out first thing the next business day.

About Our Family and How We Ended Up Here

I'm often hesitant to go on about family stuff because it can sound like we're trying too hard to seem relatable. But the truth is, Lily's Florist really is just Andrew and me, plus our daughters Asha and Ivy. Asha just graduated Year 12 and turns 19 in May. Ivy turns 15 in February. Most of our business decisions get made at the dinner table or in the car on the way to netball training. We don't have a marketing department or a boardroom. We have a kitchen table and two teenagers who roll their eyes when we talk about website traffic.

* Siobhan and I started Lily's when Asha was a baby. We still make every local business decision at our dinner table. Ironically this was taken in Hobart in 2024.

Andrew handles most of the content and marketing side. I've been more involved in operations and the financial bits, though honestly the lines blur constantly when you run something together for nearly two decades. Anna, who has been with us for over 15 years now, started as a florist in our team when we were just getting going. She's our bookkeeper these days but we still lean on her hard for flower advice because 15 plus years in floristry means she knows things about stems and varieties that Andrew and I never will.

We started in Kingscliff NSW in 2006 with a tiny flower and gift shop on Marine Parade. The full story is on our About Us page if you want all the gory details, the struggle, the $20 days in the till, the Yellow Pages ad that changed everything. The short version is we figured out how to connect people wanting to send flowers with real florists who could deliver them, without charging those florists membership fees. That model grew from one nervous conversation with a florist in Murwillumbah to a network of over 800 partner florists across Australia.

* The shop where it all started. No aircon and zero experience and it taught us that local care beats corporate warehouses or production lines.

Our Tasmania Connection

Tasmania has always felt different to the rest of Australia when we visit. Colder obviously, but something else too. The light maybe, or how green everything stays.

In 2024 we did a proper family road trip around Tassie in the Tesla, which was an adventure in itself given the charging situation back then. We drove down through Launceston, across to Cradle Mountain, down the west coast to Strahan, then finally to Hobart where we spent the most time. North Hobart was where we kept ending up for dinner because of the strip of restaurants along Elizabeth Street. One night we ate at a little Italian place where the pasta was handmade and Ivy, who is usually pretty picky, cleaned her entire plate which is rare enough to remember.

We walked up and down that main drag a few times across different days. There's something about North Hobart that feels more lived in than the waterfront tourist areas. More locals going about their actual lives rather than cruise ship visitors taking photos of everything. The vintage shops (which Ivy adores), the bakeries, the guys sitting outside cafe's reading actual newspapers. It reminded me of what Kingscliff used to feel like before it got busier.

That trip wasn't our first to Tasmania either. We've sent flowers to Hobart since 2009, back when we were still figuring out how to get partner florists in every state. True Colours Florist was one of our earliest partners there, and having florists in Hobart meant we could actually say yes when customers called from NSW wanting to send flowers to family in Tassie. Before that, we had to turn those calls away and it killed us every time.

Getting down to Tasmania from Kingscliff takes some planning so we can't pop over monthly like we do with the Gold Coast, but when we go, we tend to stay a while and really soak it in. That 2024 trip was two weeks and even that felt too short.

Anna's Advice: Three Flowers That Work Beautifully for North Hobart

I asked Anna, for she knows flowers but I know how to sell them, what she would recommend for someone sending flowers to North Hobart specifically. She has this way of thinking about flowers in context, like what will hold up in different climates and what suits particular areas.

Native Australian Flowers

"For Hobart generally but North Hobart especially, I always lean towards natives," Anna said. "Banksias, waratahs, leucadendrons. They handle the cooler temperatures brilliantly because they're not expecting tropical conditions to survive. A mixed native bunch arriving in North Hobart in winter will last a good two weeks if the recipient keeps them out of direct heater airflow. Plus there's something about sending Australian natives to Tasmania that feels right, like you've thought about where the flowers are actually going rather than just picking the first thing you saw online."

Roses (But Not the Cheap Imports)

"Roses are classic for a reason and they do fine in Hobart's climate," she told me. "The issue is where they come from. The cheap imported roses that some competitors use get flown in from overseas, sit in cold storage, then get shipped again via post. By the time they arrive they've been cut for two weeks already and they've got maybe three days left in them. Our partner florists source from Australian growers where possible, which means fresher stems and longer vase life. I always tell people if you're sending roses to Hobart, go for the bigger bunch sizes because you get more established flowers that handle the journey from florist to doorstep better."

Seasonal Mixed Bouquets

"Honestly my favourite thing to recommend is our florist choice or deal of the day options," Anna explained. "The florists in Hobart know what's looking best in their shop that morning. They know which lilies came in that are about to pop open perfectly, which stock flowers are at their peak, which colours are freshest. When you let the florist choose, you're getting the absolute best of what's available that day rather than forcing them to use whatever matches a specific photo online. For North Hobart, where people seem to appreciate things that are a bit more thoughtful and less generic, I think florist choice bouquets land really well."

Anna has been doing this for over 15 years and her instincts are usually spot on. When she says natives will hold up in Hobart's cooler temps, I trust that completely.
