Seasonal guide
What is freshest, season by season, in Southern California.
Local flowers, delivery timing, and studio guidance in one place.
Use this guide to order with the seasons. In-season flowers tend to look better, last longer, and cost less, because they are at peak supply rather than flown in against the calendar. Southern California's mild climate also stretches some seasons longer than most of the country.

Practical guidance
What to know before you order.
These notes are written for real customer decisions, not generic flower advice.
Step 01
Spring — roughly February to May
Spring is the widest, most colorful window. It is the season for the soft, garden-style stems that define modern arrangements.
- Tulips, ranunculus, and anemones early in the season.
- Daffodils, sweet peas, lilac, and flowering branches mid-spring.
- Peonies arrive in late spring and are briefly at their best — worth planning around.
Step 02
Summer — roughly June to August
Summer brings bold color and sturdy stems that handle warm-weather delivery well, which matters in the San Fernando Valley heat.
- Sunflowers, zinnias, and dahlias for bright, cheerful arrangements.
- Garden roses, hydrangea, and lisianthus for fuller, romantic designs.
- Gladiolus and celosia for height and texture in larger pieces.
Step 03
Fall — roughly September to November
Fall shifts toward deeper, warmer palettes and long-lasting blooms that suit the season's gatherings.
- Dahlias continue into early fall and remain a centerpiece favorite.
- Chrysanthemums, marigolds, and amaranth for rich autumn color and texture.
- Deeper roses and dried accents for a warmer, moodier feel.
Step 04
Winter — roughly December to February
Winter leans elegant and architectural, with holiday stems and the first hints of the coming spring.
- Amaryllis, paperwhites, and evergreens through the holidays.
- Anemones and early ranunculus toward late winter.
- Camellia and bright citrus-adjacent greenery, a Southern California advantage.

Questions
Quick answers for this flower decision.
Use these answers to decide whether to order online or call the studio first.
What flowers are in season right now?
It depends on the month: tulips, ranunculus, and peonies in spring; sunflowers, dahlias, and garden roses in summer; chrysanthemums and deeper roses in fall; amaryllis and anemones in winter. In Southern California, mild weather stretches several of these seasons longer. Call the studio to confirm current stems.
Why order flowers that are in season?
In-season flowers are at peak supply, so they tend to look fuller, last longer, and cost less than the same stem flown in off-season. For weddings and events, planning around peak flowers like peonies or dahlias also protects both the look and the budget.
Can I still get roses or lilies year-round?
Yes. Roses, orchids, lilies, and carnations are reliably available all year through global supply, so they anchor arrangements in any season. Locally seasonal stems are layered in around them for freshness and character.
