September is the florist's harvest festival. Dahlias are at their most extravagant, garden roses deepen in colour as the nights cool, and the first dried grasses arrive for texture.
Why seasonal stems last longer
Buying seasonally isn't just romance. Stems cut at the right moment travel fewer miles, cost less, and open properly in the vase because they were never forced months early or chilled for weeks. A September dahlia will outlast a February one by days.
What we're building around right now
Ask us what's peaking any week and we'll build your bouquet around it. Right now that means dahlias, asters, and the last of the sweet peas, with sedum and ornamental grasses for shape. Garden roses are richer and longer-lasting than anything we saw in July.
How to order with the season
Give us a palette, not a flower list. “Warm pinks and cream, garden-style” lets us pick the freshest stems on the bucket that morning — and your bouquet will look fuller for the same budget. If you need one exact stem for a wedding, tell us early and we'll reserve the grower's best cut.
