If you’re after fresh, seasonal flowers in Melbourne as we inch from winter into spring, August and September are pretty exciting months. It’s the perfect time to treat your home, office, or event to blooms that are at their freshest—and there’s nothing quite like using flowers that are actually in season.
What’s Flowering in Melbourne Right Now?
Tulips
Spring wouldn’t be spring without tulips. They pop up in every colour you can imagine, from soft pastels to eye-popping reds and yellows. Perfect for jazzing up a vase, brightening a table, or just making yourself smile.
Daffodils and Narcissus
Cheerful, sunny, and sometimes a bit cheeky, daffodils are the unofficial “hello spring” flower. Our favourite? Erlicheer—fragrant, double-flowered jonquils with creamy-white clusters. Hardy little beauties, they flower from late winter into mid-spring and are a delight in pots, borders, or your latest floral arrangement. Walking through the flower markets this time of year, you can’t help but hear the squeals of delight and “oooo’s” from the florists spotting these beauties—there’s just something about their creamy petals and perfume that makes everyone grin.
Ranunculus
Layers upon layers of delicate petals in pink, red, white, and yellow. Ranunculus are perfect for adding a touch of romance (without being too over-the-top) to your table, your event, or your home.
Anemones
With their dramatic dark centres, anemones are the bold ones in the bunch. Perfect for giving modern arrangements a bit of attitude and flair.
Sweet Peas
Fragrant, ruffled, and undeniably charming, sweet peas are the quiet achievers of seasonal bouquets. Great for smaller arrangements or sneaking into a vase here and there.
Local Roses
Early-season roses from local suppliers like Grandiflora are starting to show up now. Perfect for home décor, table arrangements, or event flowers, these local beauties are fresh, long-lasting, and help support our Melbourne growers.
Foliage and Greenery
Don’t forget the greenery! Eucalyptus, pittosporum, and leucadendron add the structure and texture that make all your blooms pop—and they’re great for a little extra natural charm.
