Peninsula Flowers is a protea grower with a florist shop in Christchurch, on Awatea Road in Wigram. The website says the flowers and proteas are grown on the Banks Peninsula, and that most of the product is grown on site. The shop makes fresh bouquets, dried arrangements, potted plants and proteas, and it does wedding flowers and events. Bouquets and arrangements are delivered throughout Christchurch and Canterbury, and potted plants and proteas are sent nationwide. The business has been running since 2010 and supplies florists and corporates across the country, with trade accounts available. Gift cards are sold.
Customers say the staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful, even with questions that feel silly to ask. Proteas and dried flowers come up most often. One customer who had flowers sent from Auckland for their birthday said the proteas lasted for ages. Another ordered from overseas and praised the arrangement and the customer service. The flowers are said to last longer than those from other florists. The website's own tone is about sustainability, with hardy plants that need little care once established and dried arrangements that last. Wigram Florist, 0.8 km away, is the only other florist within a kilometre, and of the two nearby florists with ten or more reviews, none rates higher than Peninsula Flowers.
