Visiting Zetas Handelsträdgård is an experience in itself. With the largest selection of garden plants in Sweden and their garden café, a visit here is a full day's outing. They also sell a well chosen range of pots, trellises and garden furniture.

The charming Makalösa Blommor has often been named by florists as their favourite flower shop and we can understand why. You can come here with no idea what you're looking for and be inspired by luxurious arrangements and unusual plants. You'll find plants for the home and a wide range of different hand-tied bouquets in their lush selection.

The city centre favourite Regeringsgatans Blommor is a true oasis in the midst of the big city hurly burly. A fantastic selection of cut flowers and quirky, cool and hardy pot plants alongside interiors items and gorgeous pots. 

The concept is simple: Bunches only sells bunches of flowers at good prices. The fact that Bunches also work only with growers with humane working conditions and good environmental practices gives them a guaranteed spot on this list. Bunches can be found at Åhléns City and inside H&M Home, where customers can pay for their flowers and interiors items at the same till.

At Ulriksdals Slottsträdgård they grow pot plants and flowers according to the seasons and in the summer you can also pick your own home-grown vegetables and flowers. Combine your plant purchases with a visit to the delicious Trädgårdcafét inside the greenhouse and a walk in the beautiful surroundings.

If you're after a seriously stupendous bouquet or a smart wreath, Bruun Blommor are masters of flower arranging and hand tying with artistic flair.

The lush Östermalm favourite Bloomster sells top notch flowers with passion and commitment. Everything from bridal bouquets and party arrangements to corporate flowers and floral gifts.

Norr Mälarstrands Blommor has been delivering flowers to Kungsholmen locals since the Eighties. The shop works seasonally with a strong environmental focus. If you want to seriously luxe up your life, you can buy a floral subscription to have fresh cut flowers regularly delivered to your home or work.

Plantagen's wide range of everything from cut flowers to pot plants, outdoor plants and everything you need to grow your own makes them one of the city's best stocked florists. A great place to find beautiful plants for bargain prices. Plantagen also has a garden centre at Frescati north of the city.

For anyone who wants a home filled with flowers but lacks green fingers, Wexters artificial flowers and pot plants are a fantastic alternative. Handmade and beautifully designed silk and plastic plants are sold in an inspiring setting.
