Seasonal Flower Guide

A comprehensive guide to flowers by season. Discover which blooms are at their peak throughout the year.

Seasonal Flower Guide

Understanding seasonality is the foundation of great floristry. Seasonal blooms are fresher, more vibrant, and more sustainably sourced. This guide covers what to expect throughout the year in the DMV region.

Spring (March–May)

Spring is the richest season for variety. Tulips, peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas, anemones, hyacinths, lilacs, and cherry blossoms all peak in this window. If you're planning a spring event, you have the widest palette available.

Summer (June–August)

Summer brings dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, lisianthus, and garden roses at their most lush. Heat affects delicate blooms — we take extra care with hydration and transport during summer deliveries.

Autumn (September–November)

The moody season. Chocolate cosmos, café-au-lait dahlias, marigolds, chrysanthemums, and ornamental berries create warm, saturated palettes. Autumn weddings are among our favorites to design.

Winter (December–February)

Winter isn't scarce — it's refined. Amaryllis, hellebores, forced tulips, orchids, and evergreen foliage form the foundation. White and deep red dominate, though we love subverting expectation with unexpected winter palettes.
