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

Usually the coldest and bleakest month, in January we are glad of greenhouse growers to add to the array of outside grown foliage and flowering shrubs.

In January it’s the month that all flower farmers would just like to stay indoors and plan their beds for the coming year. But customers still want flowers to brighten their days, and when the Christmas decorations are removed there is often a desire to replace with something colourful, so here’s what you’ll find available from the wholesalers and greenhouse growers in January.

Narcissus from the Isles of Scilly and daffodils from Cornish growers, January varieties are usually Soleil d’or, Early Cheerfulness and Scilly white. Anemones are available dependant on the weather - warmer conditions mean longer stems. Tulips are produced hydroponically so are a bright burst of winter colours, and Alstormerias are available throughout the year.
