Marks & Spencer is the ‘pick of the bunch’ among flower delivery companies in a poll by consumer watchdog magazine Which?
In a test of Mother’s Day spring flowers, the retailer’s Large Serene Bouquet was voted the best by a panel of Which? experts, closely followed by flowers from Next and Interflora.
Flowers from Aldi Flowers, Flowers Direct and Teleflorist scored amongst the poorest in the snapshot test of flowers from 13 popular flower retailers and florists.
Using a panel of mums and Which? Gardening experts, which.co.uk ordered bouquets from 13 flower delivery companies and discovered big differences in quality, value and how closely they matched the image provided on their website.
Marks & Spencer’s winning bouquet is priced at £34.25, including delivery. Which? experts found the bouquet was a good match to the online picture and included expensive good quality flowers, which still looked good a week after delivery.
Jess Ross, editor of which.co.uk, says: ‘If you want Mother’s Day to be a blooming success, order your flowers as early as you can and choose a website that has lots of detail about the bouquets available – that way you’re more likely to get the flowers you want.”
