Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers Delivered Across South Africa

Spring flowers are the moment our florists wait for all year. The colours are softer than summer, the stems more delicate, and the arrangements feel different on a table. After 25 years of working with seasonal stems in our Cape Town studio, our team has learned that spring belongs to peonies in their short September window, ranunculus and anemones in fuller varieties than any other season, tulips while they last, and the white and pink magnolia branches that arrive briefly each year. Browse our flower arrangements, flower vase, and peony gifts ranges below for our most-ordered spring bouquets.

Not Sure What to Order This Spring?

Three rules from our florists. First, lead with peonies while they last. The September window is short. Second, mix textures. A spring bouquet with three stem types reads richer than a single-stem arrangement. Third, choose softer colour palettes. Spring is not the season for strong reds and burgundies. Save those for autumn. For card inspiration, read our flower fragrance and love quotes and fabulous list of over 200 flower quotes blogs. Order before 12 pm for same-day Cape Town or Joburg delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is spring in South Africa?

South African spring runs officially from 1 September to 30 November. Peak Cape spring colour is mid-September through mid-October, when the West Coast wildflowers, fynbos blooms, and most cut-flower spring varieties peak at the same time.

What flowers are in season in spring in South Africa?

Peonies (short September window), ranunculus, anemones, tulips, magnolia branches, fynbos varieties, irises, freesias, hyacinths, daffodils, sweet peas, and early roses all peak in South African spring. Our florist arrangements rotate through these stems based on availability.

When is Spring Day in South Africa?

Spring Day is celebrated on 1 September each year. It marks the official start of South African spring and is widely observed in schools, offices, and as a casual flower-gifting day. Spring Day flower orders peak in the week leading up to 1 September.

What is the most popular spring flower?

Peonies are the single most-requested spring flower in our Cape Town studio, but they have a short season of roughly six weeks. Ranunculus, tulips, and anemones are the next most popular. White and pale-pink roses remain popular spring options because they suit the softer colour palette of the season.

How long do spring flowers last in a vase?

Most spring stems last 5 to 10 days in a vase with proper care. Peonies last 4 to 7 days. Ranunculus and tulips last 7 to 10 days. Roses last 7 to 14 days depending on variety. Change the water every two days, trim stems at an angle, and keep arrangements out of direct sunlight. Our blog how to take care of flowers in a vase covers this in detail.

Can I send spring flowers nationwide?

Fresh spring flowers are Cape Town and Johannesburg same-day delivery only. Fresh stems do not ship safely nationwide. For Langebaan, Knysna, Stellenbosch, and other Western Cape destinations outside our same-day zones, choose silk spring arrangements from our artificial flowers for sale range, which ship in 2 to 4 business days.
