Primrose is a great plant and floral shop on Southport! I've purchases both bouquets and houseplants from here and have been happy with everything. One of my favorite plants we bought over 4 years ago from Primrose and she is thriving. It's called an elephant ear, and it has become HUGE over the years. It adds so much character to our home and we love it! The shop has plants of all sizes to choose from -- with options for plant novices to experts. I also love the shop pup, who makes every visit extra special. I love that Southport has this sweet shop and hope it continues to thrive! read more

I ordered flowers for same day delivery, only to get a call from the store 2 hours layer that they are no longer doing deliveries for the day but that I could come pick up the flowers myself. Not at all clear to me why the website would allow me to place a delivery order if it wasn't available. I could have ordered from another place while I still had time. read more

Stumbled upon this plant store & so happy I did. The lady that helped us was so helpful. She even repotted a plant for us, so it would better fit our 16" pot. Our new ficus is very comfortable already. read more

Primrose is my new favorite place to get flowers. I will happily come here instead of getting flowers from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I stopped in and told them the price point for a bouquet I wanted and worked with me on finding the right flowers and for me to my price point. They didn't like the way one of the flowers looked so replaced it with a more healthy looking flower. Exceptional service , kind staff and excellent selection. Will come back! read more

Exceptional customer service! As a walk in I was greeted by a very friendly associate. She was interested in the occasion we were celebrating ( the arrival of a new Granddaughter) and guided some beautiful arrangements already prepared. I inquired about something custom and was told she could produce something in about a half hour. I said let's do it and she went to work. As I returned in about 20 minutes she was putting on the finishing touches. It was beautiful and picked up on the feel appropriate to our celebration. As I waited I enjoyed a conversation with owner Leah. She along with a very busy staff obviously enjoyed their opportunity to be creative in sharing with the clients occasion. Having waited over a bit to write this review I can also comment how fresh the flowers must have been as they look beautiful more than a week later! All I can say is don't go anywhere else read more

Small plant shop, with some houseplants as well as a lot of floral stuff; I'd say it seems to lean more heavily toward the floral direction. They also have a decent collection of pots as well; nothing unusual really, but a variety of sizes and colors. When I stopped in I didn't see anyone in the shop, though I know there had to have been because the doors were open and plants out front on the sidewalk. I didn't leave with any plants but I'd stop in again if I was looking for a floral arrangement. read more

Going to make this review short and sweet. Thank you so much Abby for making me a sweet and simple flower crown for my October cemetery shoot! I came here with my dog in late October because I wanted a tiny and simple flower crown for my hair. I stated I wanted the flowers to be dark or black and Abby ordered the perfect floral arrangement with my specific corpse bride request. I'm now patiently waiting for the flowers to dry up so I can have it for a future project. The staff here gave me an extremely reasonable price on short notice and I also purchased a cute vase with three dead flowers that I included in my Day of the Dead themed cemetery shoot. I highly recommend this cute flower boutique and will use their services again without hesitation. I'm including two photo images of me at Graceland cemetery wearing the floral crown that was handcrafted by Abby herself read more

Awesome local business on Southport!! You get the best of both worlds with Primrose - reasonable prices on high quality/healthy plants, and incredibly knowledgeable staff invested in helping you make the right choice and keeping your plant healthy. Very happy to have found this spot! Bonus points for having reasonably priced pots and being dog friendly, too! I will be a repeat customer and highly recommend! read more

Primrose Chicago - Dog friendly!! - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Such a fun flower shop! The staff was so friendly and they offer so many different types of bouquets! We went to pick up a bouquet of flowers for a table and then we also looked at their planter boxes and pots. They have bins out front with different size bouquets so that you can select a size that's right for you (and for your budget)! When we were checking out, the girl offered to put water at the bottom since we were not going straight home which was so nice! She also informed us that a stem was broken so she switched it out with another flower! They have so many fun plants inside and the prices we're reasonable for the types of flowers they offered. I would visit this shop again next time I am in town. read more

I ordered an arrangement today as a gift. The order was for $100 (plus $30 in tax and delivery). It was delivered as requested but the arrangement looked sickly. I contacted the shop and they informed me that that I was looking at the back (with one unfortunately broken off flower). I'm embarrassed that a $130 gift looked so terrible. The shop insisted I couldn't see the front (by the photo sent)....and that it had all sorts of flowers I couldn't see. Needless to say I won't be ordering from them again. I order from this shop based on the reviews. Maybe if you go in (in person) you get a better arrangement or better service. read more

Here are a few pictures! (Note that I asked Primrose to arrange a bouquet for me made up of greenery only, since green is my favorite color.) They did an incredible job, prioritizing asymmetry and "wildness" and lushness, just as I hoped they would! read more

I've visited this plant store several times during this last year when I got into indoor perennials. They have a wide selection of foliage, aroids and large standing plants. I definitely needed help at first with selecting the right plants for my north facing home and they were extremely patient and instructive! Not to mention their store pup, who was as welcoming as the owners are. They have occasional thematic sales that I find really cute, for Harry Potter week they were selling the birds nest fern as gillyweeds which was hilarious. They're now selling Hoya kereii for Valentine's! They also have a new selection of terracota and glazed pots in the back. Smaller selection than most but they are happy to help drill a drainage hole for any pot which is a huge help! I've picked out two beautiful round 6 to 8 inch pots from their collection. Overall lovely shop for beginners and plant lovers alike! read more

As usual, my Yelp peeps came through and truly delivered. I was looking for a florist in Lakeview to buy my sister and brother-in-law a bouquet for their wedding anniversary and truly did not want to resort to Jewel/Whole Foods for flowers. This place is a gem. They have several freshly-made bouquets, which can be purchased with or without a $6 vase, or the staff will build a flower arrangement based on your need/ price point/ occasion. This place just gives off a great vibe - small, amenable, professional, and pretty quick. I will definitely return. Oh, and even though Southport can be busy, I find there is plenty of parking on the nearby streets. Just have the Chicago Parking app handy. read more

Primrose Chicago is fantastic for weddings! Leah was so kind and patient in working with us to find a decor solution that fit within our budget. One of our favorite wedding planning memories was designing the bridal bouquets together with Leah - she's a pleasure to be around! She and her team provided a nice arch with beautiful flowers, centerpieces, and all the other wedding decor we needed. 10/10 would recommend Primrose Chicago as your wedding florist! read more

Hit or miss bouquets. Better to start with one of the online options as a reference when ordering design your own. You have to be very specific about what you want. Just saying color scheme mood is not going to work. Do not use their suggested Uber Eats delivery option. Have not received reliably excellent arrangements. Sometimes, yes. But often, I wonder what they are thinking and how the price was determined. Note that spending more money does not help. You just end up with even more filler and more questions about how ultrafiltration arrangement cost X or X+$50. This is also not a place that lets you put together your own arrangement. read more

My fiancée and I stumbled across this place by pure coincidence after having brunch on Southport. Turns out we had been searching for a house plant for months since the start of the pandemic. We walked in and the woman who helped us could not have been nicer or more helpful. We've been looking for something both hearty and easy to care for and tried several places. Turns out fully grown house plants are expensive! Anyways, we found a fully grown money tree that we love! Everywhere else we have tried, this plant was $150 or more, so we were pleasantly surprised when she told us that the plant only cost $75. We left with the plant, a beautiful pot/tray combo, and they took care of the repotting for us for less than $130 all in. Friendly, helpful staff, great selection, and a cute friendly K9 helper - We will definitely come back! read more

It's my goal to visit every personally owned plant shop. This was stop 6. This shop was busy with activity and shoppers on various levels. It was very tight and hard to move around but the spirit was kind enough that we all worked around each other. Nice shop. Plants were a little pricey. But this shop meets my expectations of a shop designed for those who love plants. I found a couple of plants that caught my eye. This store, though small, has a variety of plants. read more

Above & Beyond. The owner, Leah, is super talented, sweet and truly is the kindest person who will really go the distance with customer service, reasonable prices and gorgeous floral designs. She genuinely cares about clients! She designed gorgeous floral (bouquet, boutonnières, wrist corsages & centerpiece) for our wedding November 3rd downtown Chicago. She made everything VERY easy to look at and guided us thru designs while collaborating with us. I called to confirm what we wanted and she calmed my nerves while asking how I was doing and feeling! Above & beyond. I even asked her to switch from darker red roses to red, red roses the week of the wedding. She did it!!! Delivery was extremely inexpensive and right on time up to my room. She also gave us a few complimentary boutonnières!!! If we could give 10 stars we would. This florist is thee best in Chicago. read more

Leah and Primrose were so wonderful to work with for my wedding. The build a bouquet day was such an incredible experience. It meant so much to be able to see and play with flowers and textures and to help create the bouquets for my flowers! Leah and Jordan did such a great job creating everything and helping execute a beautiful day. They even helped with the decorations we had for the table and ensured our sweetheart table was stunning. Primrose is also a beautiful shop overall full of plants and pots! Thanks for everything! Please consider me a customer for life! read more

Primrose was AMAZING to work with! From the quoting process (where we talked about our specific vision) to the Build a Bouquette Day to the actual day of, they were truly amazing and one of the more professional vendors we worked with for our big day. They worked within our budget ($1500) and made our day look amazing. Plus, they're a great local outfit. My husband and I had such a great time planning our day with them. You will not be disappointed. (Photos by BK Rose Photography - also an amazing vendor!) read more

We spent over $100 on succulents (a steep $13 per succulent) for our new apartment, eager to support a local business. However, within a few days they have all rotted. Not to mention that they infected other succulents they were potted with, so we lost even more money that way. I've been taking care of succulents for years and this has never happened. I followed all the care instructions the staff provided and bought all my supplies there. A friend who came with also had a succulent that rotted after a couple of days. It is unfortunate but this was a huge financial blow at a rough time as it is. I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

I called That's Amore needing a congratulatory bouquet for a coworker. The bouquet that I saw online was not available exactly as pictured, but the employee asked me for some details about the occasion and offered to create a custom bouquet for me. He asked me about flower colors, price range, vase shape, etc. to make the best arrangement for my colleague. I requested this bouquet in the afternoon the day before I would need it. I picked up right at 8:30 AM upon the shop's open and was super impressed with the custom arrangement. The price was very fair and the flowers fresh and beautiful! The shop is close to the Southport brown line so I was able to commute to the Loop seamlessly. I'll definitely be going back for more floral arrangements. read more

Wow! Super friendly and helpful. We recently moved and That's Amore had everything to replace what broke on our truck.

I had a VERY negative experience with another florist also on SouthPort in LAKEVIEW. You know who you are, FLORA! Maybe YOU can take a lesson from PRIMROSE. GREAT hours! Great results! I'm going to use them for Valentine's Day. I will use FLORA for a FISH funeral maybe. read more

These guys went out of their way to make a custom bouquet and deliver it the same day I called.

Primrose Chicago did a beautiful job with the flowers for my wedding! They were so friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with throughout the process of nailing down our wedding floral needs and the aesthetic for the flowers. I'm a very visual person, so I especially appreciated that they really tuned into the specific visual vibe I was trying to describe. My bridal bouquet was everything I'd hoped for and more. Primrose Chicago was also super reasonable with their pricing, and generously helped craft a proposal that fit within our limited budget. On the day of the wedding, I was actually blown away by the fullness and volume of the flowers they provided--given the tightness of our budget, it was more than I had expected! It was all so lush and beautiful; I felt like they went above and beyond for us. They also did a great job with the setup of everything, and were very kind in delivering our flowers to multiple locations to accommodate different floral needs between our getting-ready location, ceremony site, and separate reception venue! read more
