Flowers by Season

Due to widespread availability of flowers 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.

Below is a flavour of what is in flower month-by-month here at Secret Door Flowers. All our flowers are grown without heat and are truly seasonal. Each year we the colours and varieties change in order to reflect demand and experience. We sell flowers from mid-April to mid-October.
