Buying flowers that are in season isn't just a nice idea — it means fresher, longer-lasting and better-value blooms, because they haven't travelled far and are at their natural peak. Here's a rough guide to what's looking its best in Melbourne through the year.

Summer (December – February)

Abundant and colourful. Expect sunflowers, dahlias, hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus and native blooms in full swing — perfect for bright, joyful arrangements.

Autumn (March – May)

Warmer, moodier tones arrive: think chrysanthemums, dahlias, roses and rich seasonal foliage in deep reds, rusts and burgundy.

Winter (June – August)

Cooler months bring elegant, structural blooms — tulips, ranunculus, hellebores, natives and beautiful greenery. Whites and jewel tones feel especially lovely at this time of year.

Spring (September – November)

The showstopper season. Tulips, peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas, blossom and fragrant blooms burst into life, filling arrangements with soft pastels and fresh energy.
