The best flower markets and flower shops in Singapore

As one of the largest importers of fresh flowers in Singapore, G.G Fresh Flower is a force to be reckoned with in the local floral industry. They’re the ones who provide wholesale flowers to florists, wet markets, and supermarkets – going direct to them means that these fresh blooms come at a much more affordable price. Take a stroll around the massive cold room: it’s larger than 4,000 square feet and houses a large variety of colourful blooms. Dutch tulips, Vietnamese lilies, or local tropical orchids – they’ve got it all. 

There’s a reason why orchids are our national flower – they thrive in Singapore’s heat. Wee Lee Nursery specialise in fresh cut orchids, offering a vibrant lineup of mokara orchids, dendrobiums, and aranda tigers. These start from $8 for a bundle of 10 stalks. Besides orchids, they also offer a range of healthy potted plants. Tip: it’s best to drive down to this nursery since it’s located in the relatively far-flung vicinity of Seletar West.

Many claim that Ji Mei Flower is one of the most reasonably-priced flower markets in Singapore. After all, they do offer a 15 percent discount off fresh flowers if purchased after 7pm. Choose from statement stalks like a vibrantly red anthurium or a tall bird of paradise bloom. They do also have a range of filler flowers and leafy stems for you to craft your own special bouquet.

At G Flower Wholesale, you can conveniently order your blooms and get them delivered to your doorstep within five hours. Otherwise, simply head down to their cold room at Kallang Avenue from 6am to 8pm – no appointment needed. They’ve got popular flowers like roses, carnations, and sunflowers, but do also carry rarer varieties like Chinese plum blossoms or even fresh cherry blossoms. While G Flower Wholesale has regular shipments, flowers get sold out fast, and all the more around special holidays like Valentine’s Day.

This humble flower shop in Kaki Bukit has a ready selection of fresh cut flowers. Besides the usual colourful assortment of blooms here, Greenhub Flowers occasionally carries more exotic species than the standard yellow tulips and red roses. There’s also foliage and filler greenery for a fuller bouquet. 

Far East Flora: it’s the mecca of all fresh flowers and plants in Singapore. Their main garden nursery lies along Thomson Road, and is filled with imported colourful blooms all year round. Here, fresh cut flowers are sold in bundles – not single stalks, so it’ll be best to head down with a friend to score a larger variety. If you’re not fussed about your flowers being in optimal tip top shape, you can also easily place an order online. Besides bundles of fresh flowers, Far East Flora also offers classic floral bouquets and table arrangements.

While many head straight to Tiong Bahru market for their selection of fresh blooms, drop by Soon Heng Floral – it’s a one-stop shop for all things floral. They specialise in Phalaenopsis orchids here, but they do also have a range of fresh cut flowers. If you prefer, you can also ask them to arrange a customised bouquet based on mixing and matching the flowers they have available that day.
