Station Flowers

Cheap bunches in the doorway, better flowers inside. The classic two-tier shop.

The verdict

Station Flowers has been a fixture of South Shawlands for years, and it runs the oldest and most effective trick in high-street floristry: cheap bunches stacked in the doorway to catch the passing trade, and considerably more impressive flowers inside for anyone who actually walks in. Customers describe the staff as friendly and traditional, which in this context reads as a compliment.

Kilmarnock Road through Shawlands is one of the strongest independent retail strips in the city, and a florist holding a spot on it for this long has earned its position. The style is traditional rather than fashion-led, the prices are honest, and the two-tier structure means you can spend five pounds or fifty in the same shop without either feeling wrong.

Best for

Impulse bunches; Shawlands locals; anyone who likes to see the flowers before committing.

What I would order

Walk past the doorway buckets and ask what is good inside. That is where the difference is.

Worth knowing

No real online presence. The doorway stock is the value line, not the quality line.

The doorway prices get you in; the interior is where the shop actually is.

Who it is not for

Weddings with a mood board, and anyone who wants to order from a distance.

How it compares

A mile east, GRASS Creative Floristry is where the Southside's more ambitious work gets done.

Getting there

Kilmarnock Road, close to Pollokshaws East station and on every Southside bus route.
