Characters
- Fifi Forget-Me-Not (voiced by Jane Horrocks) is the cheerful hostess of the series and a forget-me-not. She says hello at the beginning of each episode and at the end she says goodbye and promises to come back soon, sometimes, anytime, another time, another day or maybe next time. When she forgets what to do, she says: "Fiddly Flowerpetals!" before describing the problem for the audience to guess, and when she remembers, another character says: "Fifi Forget-Me-Not forgot!", while her catchphrase, sometimes, when she forgets what to do is "Buttercups and Daisies!" and when something is wrong she says: "Diggly Dandelions!" She likes to cook and look after plants and lives in a watering can house.
- Aunt Tulip (voiced by Tim Whitnall) is Fifi's aunt. She likes to have tea parties and chats with the Flowertots. Her personality is described as very motherly and lively. She lives in a pineapple house and has a pet grub named Grubby (voiced by Maria Darling), who is very little and often gets lost. Her catchphrase is "Sweet Potatoes!" She also loves tropical things and Hawaiian culture.
- Buttercup (voiced by Joanna Ruiz) is a buttercup. She lives in a "Milk Bucket House" with her twin sister Daisy and has a mouse called Cornflower because of his lovely blue colour. She's occasionally childish, but overall very fun-loving, excitable and lively. She often has good intentions, but, ends up causing problems as she's offenly unaware of the consequences. Whenever her and Daisy are playing with Pip, she comes off as very irritated.
- Daisy (voiced by Janet James) is a daisy. She is shy and dreamy, just like her twin sister Buttercup. She is a little bit clumsy, though. She likes her comfort duckling toy called "Diddyduck". Her personality is more so affectionate, polite and adorable. She had her head over the clouds in the first two seasons, but, Buttercup's name was never mentioned until season three. She and Buttercup love playing games with Pip.
- Poppy (Poppady in the US) (voiced by Maria Darling) is a poppy who is Fifi's friend. She's quite boisterous and very hard-working. She has a market stall where she sells everything that the Flowertots need for each episode. She lives in a pumpkin house.
- Primrose (voiced by Jane Horrocks) is a primrose and Fifi's friend. She is prim and doesn't like getting messy, always wanting to look magnificent and getting upset when something goes wrong for her. She likes to create apparel for herself and tries to dress Fifi up. Her catchphrases are "I am NOT having a good day!" and "Bothering Bluebells!"
- Violet (voiced by Maria Darling) is a violet and Fifi's other friend. She is very creative and loves painting. Violet lives with Primrose in a marrow house. Violet is more so elegant, graceful and kind-hearted in comparison to Primrose.
- Pip Gooseberry (voiced by Maria Darling) is a gooseberry and the youngest of the Flowertots besides Buttercup and Daisy. He likes to help Fifi and Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) in the garden although he is sometimes very noisy and gets too excited. Fifi looks after him when Stingo and Slugsy play tricks on him. While he may come off as overly energetic to some people due to being so young, he's got a very big heart and cares about everyone. He lives in the gooseberry bushes on his playground. His catchphrases are "Golly Goosegogs!" and "Golly Gooseberries!", although on rare occasions, he may say "Great Green Goosegogs!"
- Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) (voiced by Marc Silk) is a good-natured bumblebee and Fifi's best friend. He often visits her and is always ready to come to her rescue but isn't good at landing and usually crashes. His catchphrases are "Wiggly Worms!" and "Bouncing Blueberries!" He's also very, very helpful, but nearly every time he tries to help Fifi remember something, he often adds to the confusion.
- Stingo (voiced by Tim Whitnall) is a short-tempered wasp who causes trouble for the Flowertots. He tries to steal food such as cake, blueberries, and chocolate. He lives in a red apple house. His catchphrase is "Rotten Raspberries!" While Stingo may be very naughty, he's not like that all the time and may surprisingly have some good intentions. He has a brother-like relationship with his sidekick and best friend Slugsy.
- Slugsy (voiced by Marc Silk) is a simple-minded slug and Stingo's sidekick. He is always ready to help Stingo but is very slow and often accidentally ruins Stingo's plans. He has a crush on Primrose but doesn't want to admit it. He lives at the top of Stingo's house. He speaks with a lisp.
- Flutterby (voiced by Tim Whitnall) is a butterfly. He takes Buttercup and Daisy around the garden and has a landing pad near the girls' house.
- Webby (voiced by Maria Darling) is a spider. She is the eldest and the wisest in Flowertot Garden. The Flowertots ask her for advice and help; however, Stingo and Slugsy avoid her so as not to hit the web she was spinning. Meanwhile, others consider her "so-called" as she lives in a web house.
- Mo is Fifi's lawn mower, which takes the harvest and the Flowertots around the garden.
- Diggly (voiced by Nick Wilson) is a grumpy but funny worm. He lives on the compost heap and eats scraps but prefers pumpkin pies. He gets irritated all the time, even more than Primrose and Buttercup.
- Hornetto (voiced by Tim Whitnall) is a hornet with an Italian accent. He is Stingo's cousin, his voice sounds like Mr. Carburettor from Roary the Racing Car in the UK and US.

But when the fact is going on, Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) and Poppy (Poppady in the US) suggest it be found for some reason; and Violet, Buttercup and Daisy find out on a quest for Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) to propose to Fifi for a wedding. Meanwhile, when Violet receives an all-new box of binoculars, Fifi knows she will marry Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) one day. In fact, there's only one brand new event: a flower-like wedding! While knowing about weddings, Primrose argues about it. Stingo and Slugsy politically know against weddings. Webby surely says that Bumble (Fuzzbuzz in the US) accepts Fifi's wedding proposal, and Diggly knows he will be finally sure for good. When the wedding begins, an extended, rap-style version of the theme song plays as it fades to black. Right before the end credits, a title-card saying "The END" in white fades in and out (then "IN (TOT)-LOVING MEMORY TO DAVE EASTWOOD (1948 - 2006)") over a black background. Note: This is the series finale, as international versions extend the length to a two-hour telefilm. In Latin America, it last aired on Discovery Kids on 30 September 2016, two days ahead of the 2016 elections in Brazil. After that, the series moved to ZooMoo (later ZooMoo Kids) starting 3 October 2016. | ||||
