Send Flowers to Uppsala, Sweden

Uppsala is Sweden's historic university city, forty minutes north of Stockholm, with the country's largest cathedral and a student life dating back to 1477. Parents and friends abroad send flowers to students in Flogsta and Kungsängen, families in Luthagen and Fålhagen, and relatives in Sunnersta and Gottsunda.

Mother's Day in Sweden is the last Sunday of May, and in Uppsala the academic calendar adds its own flower moments: thesis defences and graduations through late spring, and Valborg on 30 April. Studenten in early June brings bouquets for school-leavers, and Alla hjärtans dag is 14 February. On Alla helgons dag in early November, families light candles and lay flowers at Gamla kyrkogården and Berthåga, and funeral flowers are usually sent through the begravningsbyrå or to the church. For get-well deliveries, Akademiska sjukhuset is the city's main hospital; ask first whether the ward accepts flowers.

Uppsala is one hour ahead of the UK and six ahead of the US East Coast. Order before midnight Swedish time and your bouquet is delivered the following day. Please provide the recipient's phone number 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.
