Plenty of men like receiving flowers, and plenty have never been given any. If he is in that second group, the safest approach is to skip the pink and frills and pick something with a clear, strong colour: sunflowers, deep reds, or cool blue and white.

That is how this list is built. MyFlowers has a flowers-for-him collection, and the MyFlowers bouquets here come from it, leaning on bolder colours and plain shapes. Flowers also suit more than romance. They work for a birthday, a thank you, a new job, a move, or a get well gift for a brother, a friend or a colleague.

A potted orchid is on the list for anyone who would rather have a plant than a vase to wash up. MyFlowers states that it can deliver same-day across the UK, so for a last-minute birthday it is worth checking the postcode checker. Prices shown are for the smallest size, and larger bouquets cost more.

  1. Perfect Match

    Red roses and red spray chrysanthemums with sculptural blue eryngium. A bold red-and-blue mix that looks nothing like a standard bouquet.

Questions people ask

Is it odd to send flowers to a man?

Not at all. Flowers suit birthdays, thank yous and recovery, and a man who has never had any often remembers them. Pick a strong colour and a simple shape rather than something delicate.

What colours work best for men?

Deep red, golden yellow, orange and blue-and-white all read as bold rather than pretty. Sunflowers and hydrangeas are good places to start.

What if he would rather not have cut flowers?

A potted orchid or a plant lasts for weeks with little effort, and there is no vase to wash up. It is also a good gift for a new home or office.
