Seasonal flowers: what to find at each time of year

Buying seasonal flowers isn't just about looks: a flower in its prime arrives fresher, lasts longer and usually costs less. Here's what to expect through the year.

Spring

The reigning season for florists. In come peonies, ranunculus, tulips and the first field flowers. Soft palettes, pastel tones and lots of variety. The best time for delicate, romantic bouquets.

Summer

Colour and light: sunflowers, lavender, hydrangeas and wild arrangements full of energy. In the heat, flowers need more care at home, so change the water often.

Autumn

Warm, earthy tones. Chrysanthemums, dahlias and foliage in reds and ochres. Bouquets with character, perfect for a home that calls for cosiness.

Winter

Sober elegance: amaryllis, branches, whites and greens, and more structured arrangements. The ideal season for centrepieces and celebration details.

Why choose seasonal flowers

• They last longer: they arrive at their best.
• Better value for money.
• More sustainable: less transport, less forcing.
