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

March is the month for narcissus, alstroemerias, tulips, ranunculus, anemones and muscari available from our British wholesalers, with Foliage still available but coming to the end of it’s season.

Tulips

Our smaller growers will be busy seed sowing, but their polytunnels may be producing anemone, hellebores, ranunculus and the first tulips, with bulbs like narcissus, hyacinths, frittallaria uva vulpis, and muscari flowering in protected areas. Field shrubs are starting to produce blooms, especially from stems that can be forced, like ribes, kerria and forsythia, and some blossom. This is the month were the South / North divide is likely to be the largest, as sheltered areas can be weeks ahead of colder more exposed climes.

Spring blossom also starts in March, with early plum, prunus, magnolia and camellias giving plenty of flowers and supportive stems

There is still foliage around, but as the growing season starts, lots of these will become too soft to pick so make use of Pittosporum, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Senecio, and the remaining pussy willow and cornus.
