How do I keep gerbera upright in the vase?
Gerbera stems are hollow and prone to bending under the weight of the head. Trim them shorter than you'd think — a gerbera bouquet looks better in a vase that supports the heads near the rim than in a tall vase where the stems wobble. Some florists insert a thin wire up the stem for support; we do this for events but not for everyday bouquets. Change the water every two days and trim 1cm off each stem each time.
Standard gerbera or germini?
Germini are the smaller, sturdier cousin of standard gerbera — about half the head size, but firmer stems and longer vase life. The Rushes range uses both, depending on what's freshest from the growers each week. For mixed bouquets we often blend the two for textural variation. If you want pure germini or pure standard, mention it in the order notes.
How quickly can gerbera be delivered in London?
Order by 6pm and Rushes will deliver your gerbera the same day across every London postcode. Orders placed after 6pm are dispatched the next working day. There's no postcode lottery — the same flat delivery fee applies to every London address, whether that's a Zone 1 flat in Marylebone or a house in Twickenham. If you need a tighter window, choose the morning slot (9am – 12pm) at checkout. Next-day delivery is available to the rest of mainland UK with a 5pm cut-off the day before. Current delivery fees are shown at checkout and on the delivery page.
What sizes do gerbera come in?
Most gerbera come in three sizes — Regular, Large and Deluxe — so you can scale the gesture to the occasion. Regular is the everyday default (a generous hand-tied bouquet, the bestseller for most occasions). Large adds significantly more stems for milestone moments. Deluxe is the grand-gesture size, typically forty to fifty stems, used for big anniversaries, statement romance and major celebrations. Each size is shown on the product page along with stem counts and dimensions, so you can match the bouquet to the moment without guesswork.
Where in London do you deliver gerbera?
Rushes covers every London postcode inside the M25 from a single working London workshop. That includes Central London (W1, WC1, EC1, SW1), the City and Canary Wharf, West London (Chiswick, Fulham, Ealing, Acton, Notting Hill), South West (Wimbledon, Putney, Battersea, Clapham, Richmond, Kingston), South East (Greenwich, Blackheath, Dulwich, Peckham), North London (Camden, Islington, Hampstead, Highgate, Finchley), North East and East London (Hackney, Dalston, Stratford, Walthamstow), plus the further-out postcodes (Wembley, Harrow, Barnet, Croydon, Bromley). There's a postcode checker on the gift-details page.
Can I add a card, vase or extras with my gerbera?
Yes — every bouquet can be sent with a personalised hand-written gift card (up to 200 characters), a glass vase so the recipient doesn't have to find one, Belgian chocolates, a bottle of Champagne or Prosecco, or a foil balloon. All add-ons are picked at checkout and arrive with the bouquet — no separate parcel. The card is hand-written by the florist who builds the bouquet, not printed. If you're sending multiple bouquets to different addresses, each one gets its own card and delivery details.
Do you guarantee freshness?
Yes. Every Rushes bouquet is backed by our seven-day freshness guarantee — if anything wilts inside a week of arrival, send us a photo and we'll replace the bouquet free of charge, no argument and no small print. We can offer that because every bouquet is hand-tied to order on the day of delivery using stems sourced from our long-standing Dutch grower partners — nothing is pre-made and nothing sits in a fridge waiting for a buyer. Stems are graded for vase life before they leave the Netherlands.
Do you deliver on Sundays and bank holidays?
Yes. Sunday delivery is available across every London postcode if you place your order by 4pm on Sunday. Bank holiday delivery runs as normal except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, when our workshop is closed. The three dates a year where we recommend booking ahead are Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and the week before Christmas — same-day cut-offs get tight on these dates and rose supply can be stretched.
Why Rushes over a supermarket gerbera bouquet?
Supermarket bouquets are pre-made, sometimes days before they hit the shelf, and they sit in chilled cabinets until they sell. Rushes builds every bouquet by hand on the day of delivery, using stems from Dutch growers we've worked with for years. You get longer vase life (typically 7-10 days versus 3-5 for supermarket flowers), a proper hand-written card, a real florist's eye for what works together, and a seven-day freshness guarantee. We've been a working London florist since 2003.
