Get well flowers are the one occasion where the practical constraints outrank the sentiment. A bouquet that is too scented, too tall or too much work is a burden to someone who is unwell, however kindly it was meant. This page covers what actually suits a sickroom, why our range here looks different from every other occasion, and when in a recovery to send. Our get well soon flower guide covers hospital rules and what to write.
Roses dominate almost every other occasion we stock. Here they are the smallest group. That is deliberate, and it reflects what actually works in a room where someone is recovering.
Carnations and lilies lead this range. Carnations are long-lasting and hold up without daily attention, which matters when the recipient is not in a position to fuss over a vase. Lilies bring presence without needing volume.
Sunflowers do the emotional work. They read as cheerful rather than sombre, which is the difficult line to walk. Get well flowers should not look like sympathy flowers.
Scent is a real constraint. Heavily perfumed arrangements are unpleasant in a small room and can genuinely bother someone with nausea or breathing difficulty. If you are unsure, ask us to keep it low-scent when you order.
See our flower meanings guide if you want the choice to carry a specific message as well.
Keep it small and low-scent. Bedside tables are shared with water jugs, medication and equipment, so a compact arrangement is genuinely more usable than a large one. Some wards restrict flowers entirely, intensive care and certain oncology units in particular, so check before ordering rather than after.
The constraints mostly disappear. Size and scent are no longer problems, and this is where a fuller bouquet does what you actually wanted it to. Home is also the safer default if you are not certain how long they will be admitted.
One bouquet at the start is the common instinct, but attention tends to thin out after the first fortnight while the recovery does not. A second, smaller bouquet several weeks in is often worth more than a large one on day one.
Send to the home address. Flowers delivered to a ward the day after discharge get left behind, and hospital staff cannot always redirect them.
We carry 21 bouquets suitable for recovery, from $35 to $148. The mix is weighted towards carnations, lilies and sunflowers rather than roses, for the reasons above.
| Price | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| $45 – $58 | Compact Petite bouquets, small, low-maintenance posies | Hospital bedsides, and second bouquets later in a recovery |
| $78 – $99 | Mid-size mixed bouquets with filler and foliage | Most get well sending, especially to a home |
| $108 – $138 | Full mixed bouquets and flower boxes. Half this range sits here | Home recovery, family, longer illnesses |
| $148 | Our largest arrangement in this range | Serious illness, or from a group rather than one person |
Flower boxes are worth a look for hospital delivery specifically. They need no vase, which removes a small task from someone who does not need another one.
Every bouquet on this page, from the entry option upward, gets the same treatment.
Order before 2 PM for same-day delivery. See our same-day delivery page for cut-offs, or our flower care guide for keeping them going through a long recovery.
Carnations and lilies lead our get well range because they last well without needing daily attention, and sunflowers read as cheerful rather than sombre. Keep scent low. Heavily perfumed arrangements are unpleasant in a small room and can bother someone with nausea or breathing difficulty.
Send to the home address if you are unsure how long they will be admitted, since flowers arriving after discharge tend to get left behind. For hospital delivery, keep the arrangement small and low-scent. Bedside tables are shared with water jugs, medication and equipment.
Usually yes, but some wards restrict them entirely, intensive care and certain oncology units in particular. Check with the ward before ordering rather than after. Our get well soon flower guide covers hospital rules in more detail.
Bouquets in this range run from $35 to $148, with half sitting between $108 and $138. Gift wrapping and a personalised message card are included, and delivery is a flat $15 island-wide.
Early is the instinct, but attention tends to thin out after the first fortnight while the recovery does not. For a long illness, a second smaller bouquet several weeks in is often worth more than a large one on day one.
Yes. Get well soon flowers suit illness and recovery specifically. Thinking of you covers the wider middle ground, a hard stretch, distance, or simply having remembered someone. Where no illness is involved.
