How to Send Flowers to Berlin, Germany
To send flowers to Berlin, open our Berlin flower delivery page, choose a bouquet, enter the recipient's address and your card text, and pay online in rubles. The price shown is already converted to rubles and already includes delivery, so there is nothing to add at checkout. Berlin is one of 45 German cities on our delivery list, alongside Potsdam, Leipzig, Bonn and Düsseldorf.
Customers in our Saint Petersburg shops usually ask the same handful of questions about Germany: how to write the address so the courier finds the right door, which flowers Germans consider appropriate, and whether a Russian bank card or a foreign one will work. This guide answers all of them in order, based on what we see when people place orders abroad with us.
Ordering step by step
Delivery abroad works the same way as an order within Russia. Go to the page for the country or city, in this case flower delivery to Germany and then Berlin, and choose a bouquet from those shown there. The bouquets on the city page are the ones available for that destination, with prices already in rubles and delivery already included. Note that the pages for delivery abroad are currently in Russian; the order form itself is short and the fields are the same as for a Russian address.
After choosing the bouquet, fill in the recipient's name, phone number and full address, then the text for the card. The card is free, and delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender, so if you want the recipient to know who the flowers are from, sign the card. Then pay online. We accept bank cards, SBP and Yandex Pay, and foreign bank cards are accepted too, with payment processed via Robokassa.
If you are unsure about any detail, such as which bouquet suits the occasion or how to fill in a German address, call us on 8 (812) 507-67-05 before paying. It takes a couple of minutes and saves problems at the door.
Writing a Berlin address correctly
German addresses follow a fixed order: the recipient's full name, then the street name followed by the house number (for example, Kastanienallee 12), then the five-digit postcode and the city (10435 Berlin). Write the street exactly as it appears in the recipient's own address, including the ending -straße, -str., -allee or -damm. Berlin has several streets with similar names in different districts, and the postcode is what tells them apart, so double-check it.
The most important detail for a German apartment building is the name on the doorbell, the Klingel. Buildings rarely have flat numbers on the entrance panel; residents are listed by surname. If the recipient lives with a partner or rents a room, the doorbell may show a different name. Ask in advance, or add a note such as 'doorbell: Müller' in the address comment. Mention the side building (Hinterhaus or Seitenflügel) and the floor if the flat is not in the front building, which is very common in old Berlin courtyards.
Always give a working mobile number for the recipient with the international code +49. A phone number lets the courier reach them if the building door is locked or the name on the bell does not match.

Flower etiquette in Germany
The Russian rule about odd numbers does not apply in Germany. Germans do not count stems, and a dozen roses is perfectly normal; the only number some people avoid is thirteen, for luck rather than mourning. So if you are used to choosing odd bouquets for family in Russia, you can relax that habit for Berlin.
Colour and flower choice matter more. Red roses are firmly romantic, so for a colleague, a host or a friend's mother choose mixed bouquets, pink or peach roses, tulips or seasonal flowers instead. White lilies, calla lilies and white chrysanthemums are associated with funerals and graves in Germany, so keep them for condolences. Carnations are seen as rather old-fashioned, though a modern mixed bouquet with them is fine.
Germans value a neat, natural look: loose, garden-style bouquets with greenery and seasonal flowers are popular, while very tall, heavily wrapped arrangements can look formal. For a birthday, a medium mixed bouquet in bright colours is a safe and warm choice. For a romantic occasion, red roses in any number you like will be understood exactly as intended.
Occasions and timing for Berlin
Some dates in Germany differ from Russian ones. Mother's Day, Muttertag, falls on the second Sunday of May and is a big day for flowers. Valentine's Day on 14 February is celebrated mainly by couples. International Women's Day on 8 March is a public holiday in Berlin, but flowers on that day are far less of a tradition than in Russia, so a bouquet will come as a pleasant surprise.
Sundays and public holidays are quiet days in Germany, and many people are away. For a birthday or an anniversary, place your order a few days in advance and confirm that the recipient will be at home. The express, time-window and pre-order conditions and the 500 RUB delivery fee described on our site apply to Russian cities; for Berlin, the price on the city page already includes delivery, and the details of a specific order can be agreed by phone.
If the flowers are a surprise, it is still wise to know the recipient's schedule. Many Berliners work long hours and are out during the day. A neighbour or a partner who can open the door is the simplest solution, and you can mention them in the order comment.
Keeping the bouquet fresh after it arrives
If you want to add a practical touch, include a short care tip in the card. Cut flowers last longest when the stems are trimmed by 1 to 2 centimetres at an angle with a sharp knife, the leaves below the water line are removed, and the water is changed every one to two days in a clean vase.
Berlin flats are often well heated in winter, which shortens vase life. A cool spot away from radiators, direct sun and the fruit bowl makes a noticeable difference: ripening fruit releases ethylene, which makes petals drop faster. Roses appreciate deep water; tulips prefer a shallow level of cold water.
Sending flowers to other countries and to Russia
Germany is one of 53 countries we deliver to, with more than 1,630 cities in total, including the USA, the United Kingdom, Poland, France, Spain, Egypt and Canada. The full list is on our flower delivery abroad page, and the order process is the same everywhere: choose a bouquet on the country or city page, add the address and card text, and pay in rubles with delivery included.
If you are in Germany and want to send flowers the other way, to family or friends in Russia, use our bouquets catalogue. Delivery within the city costs 500 RUB, and for remote districts and suburbs the operator confirms the price when confirming the order. In large cities we can deliver within 1 to 2 hours after confirmation or at an exact time, and in Saint Petersburg, where our three shops have been working since 2011, delivery is available around the clock.
