Why use a flower calendar?
A flower calendar helps you make more conscious choices when it comes to cut flowers that suit the season. It brings surprising bouquets, greater variety, and often even better quality. Whether you choose fresh spring flowers, vibrant summer flowers, warm autumn tones or elegant winter flowers, seasonal cut flowers always bring something perfectly suited to your home.
Cut flowers by season
These days, many cut flowers are available almost all year round, but every season has its own character and signature flowers. Below, you’ll find the best-known and most popular cut flowers for each season.
Spring flowers
Spring is all about freshness, light and new beginnings. Out with the gloomy days and in with a splash of colour. Many cut flowers that are popular during this period are true seasonal flowers or are grown early in the year in greenhouses. Many of these flowers feature soft colours and a delicate appearance, making them perfect for springtime.
Typical spring flowers include:
Summer flowers

They’re the stars of your garden table and little rays of sunshine indoors. These flowers bring energy and colour into your home and are perfect for long, sunny days.
