Hong Kong’s Central district is a floral hub where a 10-minute stroll from Statue Square leads past at least three distinctive flower shops, each catering to different tastes and occasions. From a four-decade institution grounded in European technique to a conceptual floral studio that treats blooms as sculpture, these five florists — all within a 15-minute walk of one another — offer options for weddings, funerals, events, or everyday splurges. Here is a guide to what each shop does best and who should visit.
Greenfingers: A Forty-Year Legacy of European Craft
Kenneth Chan opened Greenfingers in 1985 after training in Germany and the Netherlands, and his European approach remains evident: bold, structural arrangements that avoid fussy pastels. Chan still teaches floristry and designs, and the shop’s client list includes names from Hong Kong’s fashion, hospitality, and interior-design sectors. Located at G/F, Tung Tze Terrace, 6 Aberdeen Street, it is open 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Call +852 2827 8280.
Best for: Weddings and funeral wreaths — both handled with equal care. Skip if: You want soft, Instagram-pink bouquets.
Ellermann Flower Boutique: Made-to-Order Elegance Inside Landmark Atrium
Founded in 2011, Ellermann operates on a made-to-order model: no fixed packages or cookie-cutter bouquets, but layered, textured arrangements built around client preferences. The boutique’s location inside the Landmark Atrium — Shop 109, Level 1, 15 Queen’s Road Central — signals a higher price point. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends. A second branch at Pacific Place serves Admiralty commuters. The boutique also stocks home decor worth browsing even without a floral purchase.
Best for: Bespoke, refined bouquets. Skip if: You prefer grab-and-go convenience.
M Florist: Modern, Editorial, and Global
The newest of the group, M Florist distinguishes itself with moody color stories, poetic bouquet names, and a same-day order cutoff at 2 p.m. sharp. Despite its youth, the operation ships to London and Dubai as well as across Hong Kong. The address is Room 1104, 11/F, 70 Queen’s Road Central.
Best for: Photogenic arrangements with an editorial edge. Skip if: You want classic, traditional designs.
The Floristry: Quiet Minimalism on Gough Street
A short walk from Greenfingers, The Floristry favors restraint. No maximalist arrangements; instead, carefully composed, minimal bouquets. Located at G/F, 18 Gough Street, the shop deliberately keeps things low-drama.
Best for: Those whose taste runs toward understated elegance. Skip if: You crave bold, large-scale statement pieces.
Solomon Bloemen: Sculptural and Conceptual
Dr. Solomon Leong runs a studio that is the opposite of restraint. Arrangements are conceptual and sculptural, built to make a statement rather than sit quietly in a vase. The studio is at Winner Building, 27 D’Aguilar Street.
Best for: Events requiring floral installations with visual impact. Skip if: You want a simple bouquet to place on a dining table.
Planning a Visit
Hours vary, especially around public holidays, so call ahead or check each shop’s website before heading out. With all five clustered within a 15-minute walk, visitors can easily visit two or three before deciding.
Actionable tip: Bring photos of your space or event theme to help florists match arrangements to your needs. For same-day orders, M Florist requires submission by 2 p.m.; Ellermann and Greenfingers typically require at least 24 hours’ notice for bespoke work.
