Seasonal Flower Guide: What’s Blooming When?

Timing is everything with flowers. At Expressions in Cambridge, we believe seasonal flowers NZ growers produce are the freshest choice. They are more vibrant and more sustainable too. So, here is our guide to what is blooming when, to help you give the perfect bouquet all year.

Spring seasonal flowers in NZ (September to November)

Spring bursts into life with tulips, daffodils, freesias, iris and sweet peas. These cheerful flowers stand for renewal. Therefore, they are ideal for birthdays, anniversaries and new beginnings.

Summer (December to February)

Summer brings a bold palette. For example, sunflowers, roses, zinnias, dahlias and lavender are all at their best. These long-lasting blooms suit weddings, festive tables and surprise gifts.

Autumn (March to May)

Autumn tones are rich and earthy. Look out for chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, sedum and autumn roses. In addition, these flowers bring warmth and depth, so they make great thank-you gifts.

Winter (June to August)

Winter might seem bare. However, it still brings beauty. Hellebores, camellias, jonquils and anemones bloom in the cooler months. Many are fragrant, which adds comfort on a cold day.

How to choose the right style

Whatever the season, you can choose a lush bouquet, a charming flower bag or a dainty posy. Our team will help you pick the best blooms available that week. Similarly, you can add a candle, diffuser, chocolates or a keepsake for a complete gift.

Why choose seasonal flowers?

Seasonal flowers travel less, so they arrive fresher. As a result, they usually last longer in the vase. They also support local growers, which keeps our community strong. Best of all, they reflect the natural rhythm of the year. For a month-by-month view, see our flowers in season page.
