The Short Answer
Ontario's cut-flower season runs roughly April to October: tulips and daffodils in April–May, ranunculus and peonies in May–June, cosmos, zinnias, and snapdragons through July–August, and dahlias, sunflowers, and ornamental grasses from August into October. Winter arrangements lean on greenhouse-grown and dried elements.
Spring (April – June): the awakening
April–May brings tulips, daffodils, and muscari — the first true locals. May–June is the romantic stretch: ranunculus, anemones, sweet peas, and the brief, glorious peony window that Ontario gardeners plan whole weeks around. Spring arrangements from our table are soft, ruffled, and pastel-leaning.
Summer (July – August): the meadow at full volume
This is wildflower season proper. Cosmos, zinnias, snapdragons, scabiosa, yarrow, and fragrant herbs are all at their peak, alongside garden roses and lisianthus. If you've ever wondered when our arrangements look most like an actual meadow — it's now. Colour is generous, textures are wild, and stems are at their strongest.
Fall (September – October): the golden hour of the year
Dahlias headline autumn — from dinner-plate showstoppers to tiny pompons — joined by sunflowers, celosia, amaranth, and ornamental grasses that catch the light like the season named our studio. Palettes deepen into amber, rust, and rose. Fall arrangements are our founders' quiet favourites.
Winter (November – March): the resourceful season
Ontario fields sleep, so winter designs blend greenhouse-grown Ontario stems, evergreens, and dried elements from the summer harvest — grasses, seed pods, preserved blooms. Done well, winter arrangements have a warm, textural beauty all their own.
We build every bouquet from what the season is actually offering — it's the heart of the wildflower style, and why Ontario-grown matters to us.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is peony season in Ontario?
Ontario peony season is short and beloved — roughly early June to early July, depending on the year's weather. If you want peonies in an arrangement, order within that window.
What flowers are in season in Ontario in winter?
Outdoor fields rest from November to March, so winter arrangements use greenhouse-grown Ontario stems, evergreens, and dried summer elements like grasses and seed pods.
Why do seasonal bouquets look different each month?
Because they follow the harvest. A seasonal wildflower bouquet in June (ranunculus, peonies) looks completely different from one in September (dahlias, grasses) — that's the appeal.
