What Florist Flowers Are In Season Now

Which florist flowers are in season right now? The answer changes with the time of year and the weather. In general, though, seasonal blooms are fresher and better value. So, here is a simple guide for New Zealand.

Spring florist flowers in season

Spring brings soft, cheerful colours. For example, daffodils, tulips, ranunculus and freesias are all at their best. Peonies also appear towards the end of spring, although their season is short.

Summer

Summer is bold and bright. Sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, dahlias and lilies all shine. In addition, roses are plentiful, so summer is a great time for big, generous bunches.

Autumn

Autumn tones are warm and rich. Chrysanthemums, asters and late dahlias are popular. Similarly, autumn foliage and berries add lovely texture.

Winter

Winter may feel quiet. However, hellebores, camellias, jonquils and anemones all bloom in the cooler months. Evergreen foliage and branches also give winter designs depth.

Why choose seasonal flowers?

Seasonal flowers travel shorter distances. As a result, they usually arrive fresher and last longer in the vase. They are also often better value. Of course, colour and style matter too. For instance, pastels suit spring, while vivid colours suit summer.

Seasonal flowers for every occasion

Seasonal blooms suit almost any moment. For example, spring tulips make a cheerful birthday gift. Summer sunflowers brighten a new home. Meanwhile, autumn chrysanthemums are a warm way to say thank you. In winter, fragrant jonquils bring comfort on a cold day.
