  • Delivered on Thursdays** – let us know your preferred Thursday date in the delivery notes. If it’s a gift, let us know your message there too.

**We must receive your order by 9am Monday, in order for you to receive your box on the Thursday of that week. If you’ve missed the deadline send an email to [email protected] and we will do our best to help

Uncut Stems is a community. We encourage you to share what you do with your flowers each fortnight and get inspiration from others in return. #showusyourStems

Please note, British stems can vary in vase life between 3-12 days, and might age differently to mass grown, imported stems. They come in a beautiful range of lengths and shapes and sometimes will have small marks from the rain on their petals. Photos show an example spring, summer, autumn and winter bunch.

On arrival, your Stems will need a good drink and time in a cool, shady spot to recover from their journey

**At the bookends of the season, or in the instance of exceptionally bad British weather, some of your Stems might be from trusted imported growers. We will always let you know when this is the case and consider it as part of the education around mindful flower sourcing.

FAQs

+ What is a one-off box of Uncut Stems?
A one-off delivery of un-arranged, seasonal Stems. No subscription required!
+ How does delivery work?
Our carbon-neutral courier is DPD, who will be in touch with details of your delivery. You will received your Uncut Stems on a Thursday.
+ Where are the flowers coming from?
Your flowers will come from a network of British growers that we know and trust. We work with a variety of both commercial and chemical-free growers based in the UK. At the bookends of the season, or in the instance of exceptionally bad British weather, some of your Stems might be from trusted imported growers. We will always let you know when this is the case and consider it as part of the education around mindful flower sourcing.
+ How long will British flowers last?
Many of us are used to flowers that are imported, with pencil perfect straight stems (best for long distance travel) and symmetrical petals that last for a freakishly long time. We want to educate you on real flowers and true vase life, which is 3-12 days. Part of the fun is editing down throughout the week to extend vase life for as long as possible. There’s real joy to be had from an evolving arrangement.
+ How many Stems will I get?
We aim to include at least 19 Stems in your buckets each fortnight which will be made up of a mixture of hero, medium and accent flowers and foliage. Often there will be extras.
+ What about flower food?
After long conversations with growers and florists we made the decision not to include flower food. The consensus is that the best way to prolong vase life is to regularly change the water and trim stems, making flower food a wasteful product. If you are ever too busy to attend to your flowers regularly then a neat florists trick is to pop half a Milton tablet or a drop of bleach (or even vodka!) into your water.
+ What sort of vase do I need?
Each week Uncut Stems vary in size, depending on what is in season, so it's good to be prepared with a few different sizes and shapes of vase. A vase that is around 20cm will be your most used, and we find it extra helpful if it curvaceously nips in at the top and bottom to help control those Stems.
+ How sustainable is Uncut Stems?
Being a sustainable business is a continual process, which we will be transparent about and accountable for. Please see our sustainability page for more info, or feel free to contact [email protected].
+ You don't deliver to me yet, when can I get some Stems?
We’re working on it. We have big plans for Uncut Stems and our mission is to bring British flowers to as many people as possible. Make sure your name is added to the list so that we know you want us in your area!
