SouthKoreaFlowers is set up for international flower delivery to South Korea. Orders are placed online, prices are charged in USD, and EUR and GBP are shown for reference. A local florist in South Korea prepares and hand-delivers the bouquet, plant or gift to the recipient’s address.
This is useful if you are an expat, a relative living overseas, a friend sending a birthday gift, or a partner planning flowers for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. You do not need to call a Korean florist yourself or arrange an international wire transfer. You can browse flowers for delivery in South Korea, choose an arrangement, write a message, and pay online.
Coverage is nationwide. That includes large cities such as Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Suwon and Ulsan, along with other delivery areas across the country.
How do you send flowers to South Korea from abroad?
The ordering process is straightforward. The main thing is to prepare the recipient details before you start, especially the phone number.
- Choose the arrangement. Pick a bouquet, plant or gift from the online catalog. SouthKoreaFlowers has 152 bouquets, plants and gifts.
- Check the style and occasion. For birthdays, anniversaries and congratulations, colorful mixed flowers are usually safe. For sympathy, use a more restrained arrangement from the appropriate category.
- Enter the recipient’s name. Use the name the recipient normally uses for deliveries. If you know the Korean spelling, include it where helpful.
- Add the full delivery address. Include the city, district, street address, building name, apartment or office number, and postal code if you have it.
- Add the recipient phone number. This is important because the florist may need to coordinate the delivery.
- Write the card message. Every order includes a free printed card message.
- Pay online. Payment is available by card via Stripe or by PayPal. The order is charged in USD.
- The local florist delivers. A florist in South Korea prepares the flowers and hand-delivers them to the address.
If you are sending flowers to South Korea from USA time zones, remember that South Korea is far ahead of North America. Ordering “today” in your city may already be the next calendar day in Korea, so do not leave important dates until the last minute.
How long does flower delivery in South Korea take?
SouthKoreaFlowers offers next-day delivery nationwide. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Seoul, Busan and Incheon when the order is placed early.
No fixed same-day cutoff is listed in the site facts, so the safe approach is to order as early as you can in the recipient’s local South Korea time. For birthdays, anniversaries and business gifts, next-day delivery is usually the practical planning point. For major flower dates, order 2 to 3 days ahead.
| Delivery or occasion | What to know |
|---|---|
| Nationwide delivery | Next-day delivery across South Korea |
| Major cities | Same-day delivery may be available when ordered early |
| Christmas, December 25, 2026 | Order at least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2027 | Order at least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Eobeoinal (Parents’ Day), May 8, 2027 | Carnations are traditional, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead |
If the recipient lives in an apartment complex, a gated building, a hospital, a company office or a school, allow extra time and provide clear details. South Korea has many large apartment towers and business buildings, so the unit, floor, department or room number matters.
For a Seoul address, start with the dedicated Seoul flower delivery page. For a coastal city delivery, you can also use the Busan flower delivery page.
How much does it cost to send flowers to South Korea?
Bouquets on SouthKoreaFlowers start at USD 63.24. The listed price range is USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95.

What flowers are appropriate in South Korea, and which should you avoid?
For most happy occasions in South Korea, mixed bouquets in soft, bright or warm colors are appropriate. Pink, peach, yellow, lavender and red arrangements work well for birthdays, congratulations, anniversaries and “thinking of you” gifts.
For romance, roses are a familiar choice. Red roses are strongly associated with love in many countries, including South Korea, and pink or pastel flowers can feel warm without being too intense. Valentine’s Day is recognized in South Korea, although local gift customs around chocolate and White Day are different from North America and Europe. If you are abroad, sending flowers is still a clear romantic gesture.
For Eobeoinal (Parents’ Day), May 8, carnations are the traditional gift. This is one of the most important family flower dates in South Korea. If you are sending to a parent, parent-in-law or grandparent, order early and keep the message respectful and affectionate.
For sympathy, choose quiet, respectful flowers. White chrysanthemums are strongly associated with funerals and memorial settings in South Korea, so they are not a good choice for birthdays, romance, congratulations or office gifts. If your purpose is condolence, use the dedicated sympathy flowers category rather than choosing a cheerful bouquet.
A few etiquette points help your gift feel natural:
- Keep the card message sincere and not overly long.
- Use the recipient’s name carefully, and avoid writing a person’s name in red ink if you prepare any separate handwritten note.
- For elders, use respectful wording. A simple “With love and gratitude” works better than a joke.
- For business contacts, choose a polished, neutral arrangement rather than something romantic.
- If you are unsure, a pastel mixed bouquet is usually safer than a bold red arrangement.
What details do you need from the recipient?
You need the recipient’s name, full address and phone number. The phone number is especially important because the florist can use it to coordinate the delivery if the building is hard to access or the recipient is not immediately available.
For a home delivery, include the city, district, road address, building name and apartment number. If the recipient lives in a large apartment complex, include the tower or block number if there is one.
For an office delivery, include the company name, department, floor and office number. If the building has a reception desk, add any delivery notes that would help the florist find the right place.
For hospitals, hotels, universities or dorms, include the institution name and the most specific location you have, such as ward, room, department, front desk or dorm building. These addresses can be difficult without a phone number, so confirm the recipient’s mobile number before ordering.
If you have the address in Korean, use it. If you only have a romanized address, make sure it is complete and current. South Korea uses road-name addresses, and older address formats may still appear in saved contacts, so it is worth checking with the recipient or someone nearby.
To order, browse the SouthKoreaFlowers flower catalog, choose a bouquet or gift, enter the recipient’s full South Korea address and phone number, add your free card message, and pay in USD by card or PayPal. A local florist in South Korea will hand-deliver the order.
