Located in southeast England, the historic county of Essex is known across the country for its sandy beaches, charming villages and stellar historic attractions. We now deliver gift hampers in Essex too.

The most popular and well known of the county’s attractions are located in and around Colchester, the regional hub. With the 11th century Colchester Castle providing a dose of local ancient history, this Grade I listed building features exhibits, formal gardens and a jail.

The Belton Hills are a slice of Essex countryside and provide ample opportunity for local flower enthusiasts to explore, especially during summer months when the woodland areas become carpeted in a variety of British bloomers.

The Jacobean house at Audley End is one of the finest examples of an early 17th century stately home anywhere in the UK. With gardens designed by the famous landscape architect Capability Brown, this mansion is located outside the charming village of Saffron Walden.

Throughout Essex, from Chelmsford to Leigh-on-Sea to Billericay, Floom’s Essex flower delivery covers every corner of this southeastern county.

The Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is native to the county of Essex and particularly the wooded countryside areas of the region.

An annual herbaceous species of flowering plant, the poppy is perhaps best known as a symbol of the fallen soldiers of World War One.

The official county flower of Essex, the poppy grows showy flowers which are composed of four vivid red petals with a black dot at their central point.

Florists in Essex use the intense colours of the poppy as inspiration when crafting their artisanal arrangement for Floom’s flower delivery in Essex.
