Valentine's Day Flowers in Nairobi

Valentine’s Day is our biggest day of the year

Every year on 14 February, Nairobi fills with red roses. Offices in Upper Hill and Westlands, homes in Kilimani and Karen, restaurants and hotels across the city all receive flowers, and florists work through the night to keep up. At Nectar Flower Shop Nairobi, Valentine’s Day is our busiest day of the year, and after nearly two decades we know how to get it right.

The secret to a stress-free Valentine’s is simple: order early. Popular designs and red roses sell out, delivery routes are at their busiest, and last-minute orders have less choice. Order a few days ahead, choose 14 February as your delivery date, and let us handle the rest.

Your Valentine’s Day plan

What to send this Valentine’s

• A dozen red roses: the timeless Valentine’s gift. See rose bouquets.
• 24, 50 or 100 roses: for a bigger statement, especially for a proposal.
• Heart-shaped flower boxes: elegant, easy to display and very photogenic.
• Roses with chocolates: Ferrero Rocher and roses are a Nairobi favourite.
• Roses with a teddy bear or wine: for a playful or grown-up touch. See gift hampers.
• Pink and pastel bouquets: for new relationships or when red feels too much.

Why Kenyan roses make Valentine’s special

Kenya is one of the world’s leading rose growers, and February is the peak season for Kenyan flower farms, which ship millions of stems to Europe and beyond for Valentine’s Day. In Nairobi, that means you can send the same quality of long-stemmed roses that customers overseas pay a premium for. Our florists choose the freshest stems from Kenyan growers, condition them properly and hand-tie every bouquet on the day, so your Valentine’s roses open beautifully and last well beyond the 14th.

Valentine’s is not only for partners

Many customers send flowers to mums, sisters, best friends and colleagues on Valentine’s Day. Pink roses, sunflowers and mixed bouquets are perfect for friendship and family. Companies also send flowers to staff and clients; see corporate flowers for bulk orders.

Proposing on Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s is one of the most popular days of the year to propose. If you are planning to pop the question, talk to us early. We can prepare 50 or 100 roses, a petal path or a small floral display, and coordinate delivery with a restaurant or hotel so everything is in place before you arrive.

Tips for Valentine’s orders

• Order early for the widest choice and a confirmed delivery.
• Office deliveries are best in the morning, so the flowers are seen all day.
• Give a landmark and phone number to avoid delays at busy gates and receptions.
• Keep it secret: tell us it is a surprise and we will only contact you.
• Be flexible on colour if ordering on the day, as red roses can run low.

Valentine’s card messages

• “Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life.”
• “Every day with you feels like Valentine’s.”
• “Will you be my Valentine? Again, and always.”
• “Happy Valentine’s, Mum. Thank you for loving us first.”
