The Charm of Winter Florals


Winter flowers are often underappreciated, yet they bring a touch of elegance and warmth to the season. These blooms are perfect for adding a pop of color to the otherwise gray and chilly months. They are the perfect way of transforming homes and events into winter wonderlands.

Popular Winter Flowers


Here are some winter bloomers and floral staples to keep the chill at bay.

Cymbidium Orchids: This one bloom in particular, is sure to keep us smiling through the colder months. They are long-lasting, striking blooms that come in a wider variety of beautiful colours. Cymbidium Orchids are a stunning addition to almost any wintery arrangement and look stunning with traditional and wildflowers, but are especially elegant on their own with twigs and foliage.

Perfectly suited to cooler weather, cut stems can last well over a month in the right conditions, making them ideal for corporate arrangements as vase life is very good. Glass vases are most suited as it is easy to view the water level and top us as required. These orchids are one of the most unique and highly loved flowers of Winter.

Winter Roses: Winter roses are gorgeous, their plump pretty petals remind us of warmer times to come and they last so well in the cooler air. Spray roses are delightful, from golden yellows to oranges (like a steamy bowl of Pumpkin Soup) to reds (like the glow from a fireplace) to burgundy (like a glass of mulled wine) to fresh greens (like the fluffiest of duvets) they will make you fall in love with winter!

Ranunculus: Ranunculus boasts layers of delicate petals and a wide color range. They offer a lush look similar to peonies (which are out of season in winter), making them a florist’s secret weapon for luxurious winter bouquets.

Cyclamen Plants: Cyclamen Plants are charming winter blooming plants with heart-shaped leaves and vibrant flowers in shades of pink, red, and white. They are perfect in Pearsons exclusive hamper range to add a vibrant pop of colour. Care Tips: These plants prefer cool temperatures and indirect light. Water them from the base to prevent moisture from sitting on the foliage.

Design Tips for Winter Floral Arrangements


  • Play with Texture: Combine soft blooms with spiky branches or rougher foliage for visual interest.

  • Stick to Seasonal Palettes: Use rich jewel tones (emerald, burgundy, navy), icy pastels, or classic whites and greens.

  • Add Warmth with Containers: Use ceramic, wood, or metallic vases to enhance the cozy, festive feel.

  • Highlight Scent: Winter arrangements often go indoors — include scented elements like paperwhites, eucalyptus, or cinnamon sticks.
