Want to send flowers to someone in hospital, in a clinic or in a care home? We deliver to establishments across Switzerland. The bouquet is handed to reception with the patient’s name and ward, and your message comes with it. Order by 4 pm and it arrives the next day, Tuesday to Saturday; in Geneva, the same day when you order by 2 pm, Monday to Saturday.
Why send flowers to a hospital?
A hospital stay feels long, and visits are not always possible. A bouquet says you are thinking of someone, without disturbing the ward. It is also the right gesture from far away: you choose the flowers and the message online, we take care of the rest.


Which flowers suit a hospital room?
Rooms are small and often shared: choose a compact, lightly scented bouquet that is easy to care for.
How hospital delivery works
We deliver to hospitals, clinics, care homes and maternity units across Switzerland. The bouquet is handed to the reception of the establishment, never straight to the room: the staff bring it to the patient. When ordering, give the patient’s name, the ward and, if you know it, the room number. Some wards, such as intensive care, do not accept flowers: if in doubt, check with the establishment before ordering. Outside Geneva, order by 4 pm for next-day delivery, Tuesday to Saturday. In Geneva, by 2 pm for the same day, Monday to Saturday.

What to write on the card
Your message is copied by hand onto the card slipped into the bouquet. A few ideas:
“Get well soon! Thinking of you.”
“These flowers keep you company on the way to recovery.”
“Can’t wait to see you back on your feet. Hang in there!”
“May these flowers bring you a little comfort.”
“Get better soon, we miss you.”
“With all my thoughts for your recovery.”
“A bouquet to bring back your smile.”
“Looking forward to seeing you. Take care of yourself.”

Clinics, care homes and maternity units
In a private clinic, the bouquet is also handed to reception: give the patient’s name and, if you know it, the ward.
One exception: at the Clinique Générale-Beaulieu in Geneva, where our kiosk is, the bouquet is brought to the room.
In a care home, the reception of the residence takes the bouquet and passes it on. Give the resident’s name and, if possible, the unit or floor.
In a maternity unit, give the mother’s name. Stays are short: if she is about to leave, a home delivery a few days later is often the safer choice.
When to order for a hospital stay
Planned surgery: book the delivery for the day after the operation or the one after that, once the patient is back in the room. The calendar lets you pick a date up to 15 days ahead.
For an unplanned stay, order by 4 p.m. for delivery the next day, Tuesday to Saturday. In the canton of Geneva, order by 2 p.m. for the same day, Monday to Saturday.
Discharge coming up: if the patient goes home in the next few days, have the flowers delivered there on the day of their return rather than to the hospital.
