Central’s Flower Shops, Sorted

You don’t have to go far in Central to find a good bouquet. Walk ten minutes in any direction from Statue Square and you’ll pass at least three florists worth stopping at — each with its own personality. Here’s the rundown.

greenfingers.com.hk

Forty years in business. That’s the headline. Kenny Chan opened Greenfingers back in 1985, having trained in floristry in Germany and the Netherlands, and the European fingerprints are still all over the work — bold, structural, nothing too fussy or pastel. Chan’s still teaching floristry today, still designing, and the shop’s client roster reads like a who’s-who of Hong Kong fashion, hospitality, and interiors.

Where: G/F, Tung Tze Terrace, 6 Aberdeen Street Hours: 9am–6:30pm, Monday to Saturday Phone: +852 2827 8280

Go here for a wedding. Go here for a funeral wreath, too — they do both with equal care. Skip it if you want something soft and Instagram-pink.

Ellermann-flowers.com

Everything here is made to order. No fixed packages, no cookie-cutter bouquets — just layered, textured arrangements built around what you actually want. It’s been running since 2011, and it’s tucked inside the Landmark Atrium, which tells you something about the price point before you even walk in.

Where: Shop 109, Level 1, Landmark Atrium, 15 Queen’s Road Central Hours: 10am–7pm weekdays, 10am–6pm weekends

There’s a second location in Pacific Place, so if you’re bouncing between Central and Admiralty, you’re covered either way. Worth a browse even if you’re not buying flowers — they stock home decor too.

Mflorist.hk

The baby of the group, and it shows in the branding: moody colour stories, poetic bouquet names, a same-day cutoff at 2pm sharp. But don’t mistake newness for small ambition — M Florist ships to London and Dubai as well as around Hong Kong.

Where: Room 1104, 11/F, 70 Queen’s Road Central

If you want something that photographs well and reads a little more editorial than traditional, this is your stop.

The-floristry.com

Quieter than the others, and deliberately so. No maximalist arrangements, no drama — just carefully composed, minimal bouquets a short walk from Greenfingers on Gough Street. If your taste runs toward restraint, start here.

Where: G/F, 18 Gough Street

solomonbloemen.com

The opposite of restraint. Dr Solomon Leong runs this one, and the arrangements are conceptual, sculptural, built to make a statement rather than sit quietly in a vase. This is the shop for event florals that need to do some visual heavy lifting.

Where: Winner Building, 27 D’Aguilar Street

All five sit within about fifteen minutes’ walk of each other, so there’s nothing stopping you from popping into two or three before you decide. Just double-check hours before you go — florists tend to shift their schedules around public holidays.
