Some flowers have a short season, and this is part of their charm. And for best value, it is always worth buying flowers which are in season. Many of these have a delightful scent.
Foliages also get interesting, with rich colours, berries, seedpods and twigs coming into the shops.
Round Many flowers and foliages are now available all year round. This may mean that at certain times of year they cost a little more, as they have been grown with added heat and light, or flown in from far countries. However it also means we get a huge choice of fresh products right through the year. Here are some of the choices available. We do not answer questions on garden plants.
