The online store is open 24/7, and the Taradale boutique is open six days a week. The phone number is 06 844 8250.

Customers mention last-minute orders most often, followed by special gift boxes. One reviewer rang for a last-minute Mother's Day delivery on one of the busiest days of the year, and says the florist made up a beautiful bunch from what was left. Another says a candle they were given is the best they have had, with a lovely scent and a thicker wick. Delivery is not always smooth: one bouquet was left on a drive without a knock and found after dark. Within a kilometre, beauKayes florist, 0.1 km away, rates the same and has 40 reviews.
