Which flowers are in season?

Our two main crops of flowers are: scented narcissi, from Oct - Easter and scented pinks from May - Sep. There are short periods when we don't have enough many Scilly flowers to meet demand. In the past we've relied on importing flowers in to plug these gaps but we're working on increasing the range of Scilly grown flowers we offer.

We've looked around the islands to see which flowers other farms are growing and which ones have grown in the past. During April and May ixia, iris, gladioli and scilla were picked on Scilly and we're working with other growers and increasing our stock of these flowers. This is a work in progress. We aren't currently able to fully meet the demand for Island grown flowers in the late spring and summer and what we send at these times changes very regularly,
