Princes Hill Selections to Send

View all

Lanes, Boulevards and Quiet Streets

Princes Hill was laid out by government survey in the late 1870s, with wide streets and service lanes behind the houses. Most homes are single storey Victorian and Edwardian, with some two storey terraces among them. If your recipient uses a back gate off the lane more than the front door, tell us in the delivery notes.

Pigdon Street is the grand one, a wide boulevard with Princes Hill Primary on it, and Princes Hill Secondary College is on Arnold Street. There are a few corner stores, but most shops and cafes are along Lygon Street. Princes Park, with its gravel running track, its ovals and Ikon Park, Carlton's home base, lies along the western side.

Put Aside for Our Buyers

We have been at the Melbourne market since 2007, buying from growers who know exactly what we will and will not accept. The best of each delivery gets put aside for buyers like ours, and the rest stays on the floor. Princes Hill flowers start with those first picks.

Stripped, Recut and Checked

Leaves below the waterline are stripped at the Southbank studio, stems are recut on an angle and anything bruised is put aside. Your florist then designs with what passed and checks it once more before wrapping. It is a slower way to work, but it is why the flowers last.

Fine at the Back Gate

With service lanes and back gates, flowers here sometimes wait at a rear door. Our signature bag has a water vessel in its base so they keep drinking until they are found. Top up the water every day once they are in a vase, and should anything disappoint, tell us within 10 days and we will replace it or refund it.

School, Park and Family Occasions

Princes Hill has two schools, a park full of sport and a strong neighbourhood feel. Teachers at the end of the year, birthdays, new babies and a Carlton supporter's big day all call for flowers. Sympathy flowers have their place too, and we keep those soft and calm. Tell our florists who the flowers are for.

Princes Hill Orders, Common Questions

Will flowers reach Princes Hill on the day I order?

Yes, provided the order is in before 1pm on a delivery day. We deliver Monday to Saturday and take Sundays and public holidays off, so orders after 1pm move to the next delivery day you choose at checkout.

Where can I check the Princes Hill delivery price?

In the delivery suburb box near the top of any product page. Type Princes Hill and the price for this suburb appears before you choose your flowers.

Can I send sympathy flowers for a burial at the Melbourne General Cemetery?

The best way is to send them to the funeral director or to the family home rather than the cemetery itself. Give us the names, the service date and time and a contact number, and order a day ahead. The funeral director can tell you what is allowed at the graveside.

What if no one is in at a Princes Hill house?

A shaded verandah, a sheltered step or a neighbour is fine, and the flowers are left there. If there is nowhere safe, we get in touch first. If you cannot be reached, they return to our Southbank store and we call again to set up redelivery or collection.

What time will Princes Hill flowers arrive?

Princes Hill deliveries come between 9am and 5pm. It is a delivery window rather than a set time, so if the flowers need to be there before school pick up or for a dinner, put it in the checkout notes and we will do our best.
