The Raddest Roses and Prettiest Petunias

It’s finally spring, which means the temperatures are inching towards a more acceptable degree. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and the perpetual greyness is receding. Birds are chirping… you get the picture. And if there’s one thing i’m sure we’ve all been waiting for, it’s FLOWERS! Any kind, any colour, everywhere. So, i’ve put together a list here of some of the best florists in the city. It’s time to liven up our living rooms with a bit of colour. We deserve it.

Floral LokalFloral Lokal

Only open since last year, this local florist has quickly become a favourite. Located on Sihlfeldstrasse, it offers not only gorgeous flower arrangements, but also pots and vases that fit both contemporary and vintage tastes. If you’d like, the team is more than happy to write any personalised message with a typewriter (love it). You can also find them at the Brupacherplatz market on Saturdays. 

Floral Lokal, Sihlfeldstrasse 93, 8004
Brupbacherplatz, Saturday 9-4pm

Kaspar BlumenKaspar Blumen

Although it’s small, Kaspar’s packs a punch design wise. The bouquet designs of Angela Kaspar fit beautifully with unique vases made by Hanna Büker specially for the shop. 

Kaspar Blumen, Zollstrasse 117, 8005

Blumerei KalkbreiteBlumerei Kalkbreite

Located in the heart of Kalkbreite, this local florist has one thing you can’t beat. Besides their motto «Schön + Wild» (beautiful + wild), they have a *drum roll*: 24/7 flower machine! You know, for those last minute whoopsie daisies (pun intended). 

Blumerei Kalkbreite, Kalkbreitestrasse 8, 8003

Blumen SchipfeBlumen Schipfe

You can find this quiet shop directly on the Limmat. Stepping into it is an escape from the craziness of everyday life. Flowers tend to have that calming effect on people, and even more so when you know that twice a day, this small, boutique shop makes deliveries both in the city and kanton.

Urs Bergmann FloristUrs Bergmann Florist

Stepping into this florist located at the Niederdorf is like stepping into another world. Originally a pharmacy, the flower shop has been open for twenty years and the passion is still there.

FloristeriaFloristeria

Weirdly enough, this one was also a pharmacy before turning into a staple of the Zurich florist scene back in 1999. Since then, the couple who owns it has been turning out floral arrangements for every occasion. They also make deliveries and you can set up a subscription with them.

Blumen am StauffacherBlumen am Stauffacher

Who doesn’t know this particular florist? This small, yellow house located between Zweier- and Birmensdorferstrasse is not only eye-catching because of the flowers out front, but because it also used to be a customs house. Luckily, it switched to selling flowers 80 years ago. 

Blumen am Stauffacher, Zweierstrasse 3, 8004

Im Garten – Im ViaduktIm Garten

Stepping into this garden is like stepping into a dream; a wonderland full of beautiful arrangements that appeal to all the senses. There are endless delicacies to be found here. It’s a feast for the palate and eyes all in one.

BlüemlisexBlüemlisex

What’s not to love about this flower ordering service, with a name like that? They grow all their flowers according to very specific guidelines in a field near Frauenfeld and are then transported to Zurich by public transportation. As a member of their club, you get not only a subscription, but are also invited to their bar, where you can get together with like minded people, create your own bouquet and enjoy some snacks and bubbly.

This floral shop is also a part of the Slowflower guidelines movement.  From March to October, you can order a bouquet according to your wishes, and pick them up in Seebach, where a large part of the flowers are also grown.
