Seasonal Flowers in Germany: What Blooms When
Which flowers are at their best in each season in Germany? A simple seasonal calendar from tulips in spring to amaryllis in winter.
Every season has its own flowers, and choosing them can make a bouquet feel fresher and more special. The exact peak of each flower depends on the weather and the grower, but this seasonal guide gives you a good starting point.
Spring: fresh and bright
Spring is the season of bulbs. Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths arrive with bold colours and a fresh scent. Ranunculus and freesias also feel very springlike. See tulips and read our tulip guide.
Late spring and early summer: full and romantic
This is often the season for peonies and lilac, and roses come into their own. Soft pinks, whites and creams dominate. Browse roses and pink roses.
Summer: sunny and colourful
Summer brings sunflowers, gerberas, delphiniums and cornflowers. Warm yellows and vibrant oranges suit long days. See sunflowers, gerbera and sunflower care tips.
Autumn: warm and cosy
As days shorten, dahlias, chrysanthemums and asters bring deep, warm colour. Orange and burgundy tones suit the season. Read autumn flowers and bouquet ideas.
Winter: festive and elegant
Winter is the season of amaryllis, evergreen branches and poinsettias, along with white and red flowers. See Christmas and Advent flower and gift ideas.
