Bloomon is turning the flower industry on its head – for the better. We disrupt the traditional supply chain by skipping auction and wholesale, short‑circuiting the journey for our flowers. We harness technology, brand and innovation to deliver gifts and subscriptions that delight customers across Europe. Since launching in Amsterdam in 2014 and joining forces with Bloom & Wild in 2021, we’ve delivered over 20 million orders and are the largest direct‑to‑consumer flower business in Europe.

We care wildly about people and our planet, and are proud to be a certified B Corp.
