Send Flowers to Gothenburg, Sweden

Gothenburg is Sweden's second city and its biggest port, on the west coast facing Denmark, with Dutch-built canals and a famously sociable café culture. Gothenburgers abroad send flowers to parents in Örgryte and Askim, friends in Majorna and Linné, and family on Hisingen and in neighbouring Mölndal.

Sweden celebrates Mother's Day on the last Sunday of May. Studenten in early June is enormous in Gothenburg, and Alla hjärtans dag on 14 February is the second biggest day of the year for roses. On Alla helgons dag in early November, families light candles and lay flowers at Östra kyrkogården and Kvibergs kyrkogård, and funeral flowers are normally sent through the begravningsbyrå or to the chapel. For get-well deliveries, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Östra sjukhuset and Mölndals sjukhus are the main hospitals; check whether the ward accepts flowers.

Gothenburg is one hour ahead of the UK and six ahead of the US East Coast. Order before midnight Swedish time and the flowers arrive the following day. The recipient's phone number is required so the florist can call ahead and, if nobody is home, arrange a second attempt. Roses, lilies, tulips in season, mixed bouquets and potted plants are available year round.
