Where to go for long-lasting, beautiful blooms, including sustainable, British-grown and same-day delivery options, for Mother’s Day

• The best Mother’s Day gifts: 68 thoughtful ideas for £50 and under

It’s easy to tie yourself in knots trying to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift – but I’m here to tell you that a decent bunch of blooms is still hard to beat. Take it from me – the very tired mum of three young children. All I really want is a long lie down (maybe for a year) – but I’d also happily take a bunch of flowers.

Flowers are a very convenient present, too. Many online flower delivery services offer same- or next-day delivery. And they cater for all tastes – from traditional and formal arrangements to more modern affairs. You can even opt for a subscription so the matriarch in your life gets flowers every month.
