It's been a busy winter and lots of our customers are spending more time in doors entertaining and dressing up their homes with fresh winter blooms.

So, looking around the store, I thought I'd put together a quick summary of what's looking stunning this winter and a lit bit of an explanation as to why these are our stand out blooms right now.

1. Hellebore

Locally grown and commonly referred to as the Winter Rose, the Hellebore is a true winter marvel. Its stunning seasonal colours range from soft whites to purples, pinks, and even rich, deep hues of green and blue. This kaleidoscope of colours is particularly spectacular in the midst of winter's monochrome, creating an impressive visual contrast. But it's the Hellebore's ability to thrive as a cut flower that truly sets it apart. When arranged in large groups, their collective beauty truly shines, creating an enchanting sea of colour. These Winter Roses bring a vibrant touch to the cool, grey winter, filling homes with nature's resilience and charm.

At the end of the day, they always deliver elegance in any part of the home, and without much effort!
