Flower Delivery in Nairobi

How flower delivery in Nairobi works at Nectar

Ordering flowers should take five minutes. The hard part is choosing what to send, and we can help with that too.

We’ve delivered from our shop on Biashara St since 2008, to homes, offices, hotels, hospitals and churches all over Nairobi. Here’s what happens after you order:

1. Pick something. Browse the online flower shop, or describe what you want on WhatsApp and send a photo you like.
2. Tell us where and when. The address, a landmark, the recipient’s phone number and the date.
3. We confirm. We check the details with you and sort out the timing.
4. We make it fresh. Our florists put it together in the shop, with stems from Kenyan growers.
5. A rider delivers. Straight to the door, gate or reception, with your card.

Same-day delivery works across Nairobi. Ordering late in the day, or need a set time? Call or WhatsApp 0724 906221 first.

Your flower delivery options

A birthday surprise at an office, get-well flowers at a hospital and a wreath for a funeral all need different planning. So we plan them differently. Pick yours:

Delivering to hotels, restaurants and venues

Planning a surprise at a hotel or restaurant? Give us the venue, the guest’s full name and the room number or booking name.

Hotel receptions in Nairobi take deliveries for guests. Restaurants will put flowers on your table before you arrive, as long as you arrange it with them first. For proposals and anniversary dinners we time the delivery to your booking, so the flowers are already there when your partner sits down (smooth).

Where we deliver flowers in Nairobi

Every part of the city. Riders leave the CBD shop daily. These are the areas we drive to most:

• Westlands and Parklands: offices, apartments and malls around Sarit Centre and Westlands Road.
• Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Lavington: homes and apartments near Yaya Centre and Argwings Kodhek Road.
• Upper Hill: office towers and hospitals, where reception delivery is the norm.
• Karen, Runda and Muthaiga: gated homes where a phone number for the gate makes all the difference.
• Gigiri and Ruaka: residences and offices near Village Market and along Limuru Road.
• Nairobi CBD: right on our doorstep, ideal for quick deliveries and pick-ups.

Outside Nairobi? We deliver next day to major towns in Kenya. Order by 12:00 noon.

What you can send

Anything in the shop. Most of it can go out together in one delivery:

• Bouquets: hand-tied rose bouquets, mixed flowers, lilies and sunflowers.
• Flower boxes and baskets: no vase needed, which is exactly why offices and hospitals like them.
• Gift combos: flowers with a cake, chocolates, wine, fruit, balloons or a teddy bear. See gift hampers in Nairobi.
• Occasion flowers: birthday flowers, anniversary and romantic flowers and wedding flowers.
• Sympathy tributes: wreaths, standing tributes and sympathy bouquets for homes, churches and funeral homes. See funeral flowers in Nairobi.

Tips for a smooth delivery

Most late deliveries in Nairobi start with a missing detail. Two extra minutes at checkout saves a lot of phone calls later:

• Give a landmark. “Opposite the petrol station on Ngong Road” gets a rider there faster than a plot number.
• Add the recipient’s phone number. Gated estates and office receptions call them before they let us in.
• Say if it’s a surprise. If we need directions, we’ll call you and keep the recipient out of it.
• Mind office hours. Deliver to an office while someone is at reception to sign for it.
• Hospitals: give the patient’s full name, ward and bed number. Some wards don’t allow flowers, so a basket or fruit hamper can be the safer pick.
• Funerals: give the name of the deceased, the venue and the service time so the tribute arrives before it starts.
• Keep the card short. Two personal lines beat a long quote every time.

Flowers we deliver for every occasion

The right flowers depend on the moment. Here’s what Nairobi orders, and for what:

Birthdays

Bright mixed bouquets, sunflowers and pink or red roses, often with a cake or balloons. Office birthdays are huge, because the whole team gets in on the surprise. See birthday flowers in Nairobi.

Anniversaries and romance

Red roses are still the classic, from a dozen up to 50 or 100 stems, with heart boxes and chocolates if you want to go big. Pastel roses say it more quietly. See anniversary and romantic flowers, and plan early for Valentine’s Day flowers.

Get well and new babies

Hospitals have small rooms and some wards limit strong scents. Low-scent bouquets, flower baskets and fruit hampers work best. For new mums, soft pastels and a small gift. See hospital flower delivery and new baby flowers.

Congratulations, thank you and sorry

Graduations, promotions and new homes get cheerful yellows and sunflowers. Thank-you and apology flowers live or die by the card, so keep it short and personal. See congratulations and graduation flowers and thank you and apology flowers.

Sympathy and funerals

White lilies, roses and chrysanthemums, as a wreath, a standing tribute or a bouquet. We deliver to homes, churches and funeral homes, and the tribute arrives before the service. See funeral flowers in Nairobi.

Weddings and events

Bridal bouquets, venue flowers and centrepieces, delivered and set up on the day. Want us to handle more than the flowers? See wedding flowers and event planning in Nairobi.

Delivering on Nairobi’s busiest flower days

Valentine’s Day on 14 February. Mother’s Day in May. Graduation season. The weeks before Christmas.

On those days red roses sell OUT and every delivery route in the city is packed. Order a few days early, pick your date at checkout and give us a landmark. Want 100 roses or one specific colour? Message us early and we’ll put the stems aside.

Sending flowers to Nairobi from abroad

A lot of our orders come from Kenyans in the UK, the USA, the UAE, Canada and Australia. Mum’s birthday doesn’t care about time zones.

Order online at any hour, pay by card and confirm the details with us on WhatsApp. We deliver in Nairobi and to major towns in Kenya. More on sending flowers to Kenya from abroad.

Keeping delivered flowers fresh

Our flowers are cut fresh and made on the day, so they last if you give them a little attention.

Trim 2 to 3 cm off each stem at an angle. Put them in clean water and change it every two days. Keep them out of the afternoon sun. In Nairobi’s dry months, top up the water daily.

Flower boxes and baskets sit in floral foam. Add a little water every day so it stays moist.
