Seasonality

Due to the widespread availability of flowers which are flown in from overseas or grown in heated tunnels (‘forced’), it can be difficult to know which flowers are naturally in season in the UK.

This page gives you an idea of what is in flower month-by-month here at Secret Door Flowers. All the flowers have been grown in the last couple of years, without heat, and are truly seasonal. Each year we vary the colours and varieties we grow in order to reflect trends and experience. We sell flowers from April to October.
