Chelsea list of flowers through the year

7 comments


I was watching the Chelsea flower show yesterday and Joe Swift was talking about flowers through the calendar year (also the original Calendar girls were on) I thought those of you who haven’t seen it may be interested in the list, its always useful to know some flowers for every month of the year i think.

January – Helleborus hybridus
February – Narcissus ‘Cornish Chuckles’ (lovely name!)
March – Tulipa ‘Foxtrot’ (pink and white)
April – Azalea ‘Mothers day’
May – Aqueligia ’ Skylark’
June – Rosa ‘Girlguides UK’
July – Lavendula Angustifolia
August – Agapanthus ‘Charlotte’
September – Dahlia ‘Karma Fuchiana’
October – Penniseton ‘Fairy Tales’
November – Chrysanthemum ‘Tim Wonacott’ (lovely bright yellow spray)
December – Alpina Purpurata

I wanted to put photos on but not sure of the law against ‘borrowing’ photos off the internet so not wanting to get the site in to trouble decided against it!
