Best Flowers in Season This Winter in Canberra
Canberra winters are crisp, moody, and honestly — stunning for flowers. While the garden goes quiet, the florist's cool room fills with some of the most dramatic, richly coloured blooms of the year. Here's what's in season right now and why we love working with them.
Oriental Lilies
The star of winter. Oriental Lilies bring a heady fragrance and bold, open blooms in white, pink, and deep crimson. They last beautifully in a vase — up to two weeks with proper care — and they fill a room. Our Crimson Kiss Bouquet and Seasonal Winter Bouquet both feature them heavily right now.
Ornamental Kale
Unexpected, architectural, and completely striking. Ornamental Kale adds texture and a moody purple-green tone that pairs beautifully with lilies and stocks. It's one of those flowers that makes people stop and ask "what is that?" — in the best way.
Stocks
Fragrant, soft, and romantic. Stocks come in dusty pinks, purples, and whites and add a cottage-garden feel to winter arrangements. They're a florist favourite for a reason — they hold well and smell incredible.
Roses
Roses are available year-round, but winter roses tend to be particularly lush — slower growth means tighter, more velvety petals. Our 12 Red Roses Bouquet and 24 Red Rose Bouquet are perennial winter bestsellers.
Native Australian Flowers
Banksias, Proteas, Waratahs, and Kangaroo Paw are at their best in the cooler months. They're bold, long-lasting, and uniquely Australian — perfect for someone who wants something a little different. Browse our Native Flower Range to see what's available this week. Want to make them last as long as possible? Read our guide on how to care for native Australian flowers.
Tulips
A short but glorious season. Tulips are available in Canberra through late autumn and into winter, and they're one of the most requested flowers we get. Soft, elegant, and available in almost every colour — our Tulip Vase is a beautiful way to enjoy them.
How to Make Winter Flowers Last
A few simple tips to get the most from your winter blooms:
- Trim stems at a 45° angle before placing in water
- Change the water every two days
- Keep away from heaters and direct sunlight — winter heating dries flowers out fast
- Remove any leaves sitting below the waterline
