What's available from flower farms in the UK in February

The glasshouses and polytunnels of the UK provide enough shelter to produce amazing blooms of tulips, anemones, alstroemerias and muscari, and with narcissus coming from the sheltered fields and warmer climes of the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall, there is plenty for showing the love in February.

Tulips

For every florist, February means Valentine’s romance. But for the British flowers growers still in the grip of winter, there’s no chance of rose blooms. Instead we can offer our customers the following seasonal flowers

Alstroemerias are a dry crop that needs minimal water and heat, so we can get flowers all through the season. Anemones and Leucojum are available from Cornwall, and Hellebores in small numbers from Lincolnshire.

There is still plenty of winter foliage available like our January stalwarts of Pittosporum, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Senecio, but in February there is also “twiggage” from Cornus, Hazel, Pussy willow and Curly willow.

For your Winter flowers, choose one of these British Flowers wholesalers.
