Flowers

What makes the flowers wonky?

Just like our fruit and veg, our flowers are top quality – they’ve just been overlooked.

Some might be a bit too tall, too short, too bendy, or simply too many for retailers to take. Others miss out due to last-minute order changes, seasonal oversupply, or tiny cosmetic quirks.

They’re still beautiful, fresh, and full of life – they just didn’t fit the narrow mould of what “perfect” looks like in the flower trade. We think that makes them even more special.

What is in the flower food sachet?

Our flower food contains a simple but effective mix of:

  • Sugar – a little energy boost to help your flowers open up and stay perky.
  • Citric acid – balances the pH of the water, making it easier for stems to drink.
  • A teeny tiny bit of bleach (or a similar antibacterial agent) – keeps the water clean and prevents bacterial build-up that can shorten vase life.

It’s the floral version of a power smoothie: keeps your stems hydrated, energised, and looking their best.

Can I send flowers as a gift?

You sure can – but we’re not quite set up for traditional one-off gifting just yet, so it takes a little workaround.

If you’d like to gift a single bunch, the easiest way is to:

  • Start a new subscription using your friend’s name and address
  • The system will bill you as usual
  • Once it’s sent, you can cancel the subscription any time

Or, if you’re after a longer-lasting surprise, you can simply update your own subscription’s address to send a box their way.

We also offer gift cards for all Wonky products – perfect if you want to let them choose their own delivery date.

We’re still building out our proper gifting options, so it’s not 100% seamless (yet!) – but our customer service team is here 7 days a week and always happy to help make it happen.

Do I need any tools for arranging?

Just the basics! You’ll need:

  • A clean vase
  • A pair of sharp snips or scissors

That’s it. No fancy florist gear required – just fresh stems and a little creative flair.

How long do the flowers last?
  • Change the water every 3–4 days
  • Keep them out of direct sunlight
  • Avoid placing them near your fruit bowl (fruit gives off ethylene gas, which speeds things up a bit too much!)
