Seasonal Flowers
Flowers, like all other vegetation, have ideal conditions in which they grow best – this is referred to as their “growing season”. For some flowers, this season is very shot and particular, whereas others are able to thrive year round.
Many florists recommend that those shopping for bouquets purchase flowers that are in season. The reason for this recommendation is simple: flowers grown during their optimal season are more vibrant and hardy, plus they are also more affordable.
However, given the global scale of the flower market and improvements in greenhouse growing techniques, most flowers are available for purchase year round.
Where Are Flowers Grown?
When you purchase from Interflora your order is sent to a local, hand-picked florist, who will use their high quality stock of flowers and professional skill to create the most beautiful bouquet possible.
Yet, the florist’s stock of flowers will actually have been grown all around the world, depending on the blooms that you select. This is because the flower market is a global one, allowing for longer growing seasons and greater variety.
The largest flower exporters are the Netherlands, Kenya, Columbia, and Israel. These are closely followed by Ecuador, South Africa, and Malaysia. Of course, many o the flowers that you purchase were also grown right here at home. In fact, the Channel Islands are famous for their selection of irises, freesia, and roses. While Cornwall, Lincolnshire, and Scotland provide many bulb flowers.
Did you know? Lincolnshire provides the flower-famous Holland with beautiful Daffodils!
