To help you choose the best flowers for your bouquet, we have created a guide of which flowers grow at each time of the year. You will notice that some flowers are in season for more than just one month. Also, please note that this list should simply be treated as a guide to choosing seasonal flowers, and is not comprehensive.
Seasonal Autumn Flowers
Autumn is a season that is characterised by its effect on nature. It is also widely known as ‘fall’, due to the way the leaves fall off the trees at this time of year. While this is a season known for its dead leaves and the slow-down of blooming cycles, there is still a nice variety of flowers to choose from at this time of year.
September
September marks a transitional time of year - summer has officially come to an end, the weather is starting to cool slightly and students are returning to school. Likewise, it is also a transitional month for flowers.
