Flowers Into Heidelberg

Three hospitals sit within a few hundred metres of each other in Heidelberg, and between the Austin, the Mercy and Warringal Private they account for most of what we send here. Get well flowers, new baby arrangements for the maternity wards and thank yous for the staff, all of which need a patient name, a ward and a bag that holds its own water.

Beyond the hospital precinct Heidelberg is Burgundy Street, with its cafes and shops, the station, and family homes on the hills running down to the river and the Warringal Parklands. It is the far end of our north eastern run after Fairfield and Ivanhoe.

How Heidelberg Gets Ours

The Market Before Anyone Else

Our buyers have had the same standing at the Melbourne market since 2007, which is why the growers show them the best of the night's cutting first. Heidelberg arrangements are designed from that. It also means a box that is not right is turned away at the stall.

Checked at the Bench, Ward Ready

Heidelberg orders are opened and checked on the Southbank bench bunch by bunch, and what falls short goes back. The rest is stripped, recut and conditioned in clean water, and most of it is designed within a day. Your florist checks the stems again as the arrangement takes shape and gives it a last look before it leaves.

Water for the Austin and the Mercy

Wards at the Austin and the Mercy do not have vases to spare, so our signature bag was designed with a water vessel seated in its base. Flowers make the run to Heidelberg standing in water and can go from the bag straight to a bedside. Refresh the water daily. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

What Heidelberg Sends

Get well, new baby and thank you flowers for the hospitals lead in Heidelberg by a long way, with birthdays, anniversaries, graduation flowers and sympathy arrangements for the homes around Burgundy Street through the year. Tell our florists who the flowers are for and they design to suit, using roses, lilies, tulips and whatever came off the market floor that morning.

Flower Delivery Beyond Heidelberg

Heidelberg is the far end of a run through Ivanhoe florist, flowers to Fairfield, the Northcote page, Preston deliveries and flowers over to Kew. The rest of Melbourne is on the Melbourne suburb delivery list.
