#1 Amaryllis | Hippeastrum
Whilst we all may call it ‘Amaryllis’ from time to time – and this is where you’ll find them in our Webshop listing, its proper name is actually Hippeastrum. Hence, you’ll often see them listed as ‘Hipp’. Top tip: if you’re using our search box, this is all you need to enter to find them.
Here we’re seeing just a few of the selection available, from the much-loved bright ‘Red Lion’ to the intriguing ‘Tarantula’, the classic bi-colour ‘Showmaster’, the double ‘White Glory’, the sculptural, vivid ‘Autumn Valley’ to the layered ‘Nymph’ and the bold ‘Happy Valley’. Just seven of the many, many varieties available.

#2 Helleborus | Christmas Rose
How could we not include the Christmas Rose or to give them their botanical name Hellebores in the run up to Christmas. Whilst they are available throughout December, *spoiler alert* they really come into their own in the early part of the year, starting in January. So be prepared to see more varieties becoming available as we get through to the later parts of December and beyond.
We have fabulous Dutch Hellebores available from growers including the fantastic Haas Flowers as well as beautiful Helleborus varieties from our friends at Marginpar grown and imported from Kenya and Ethiopia.

#3 Christmas Foliage & Wreaths
Just a few of the Christmas natural foliage and wreaths available. Look out for the ready made garlands too – also let us know if you need any made-to-order!
#4 Cymbidiums
Add a touch of luxury to your designs with Cymbidium Orchids that are at their best in November and December.
Use them in conjunction with the tubes on spikes and they’re really easy and very cost efficient to add to bouquets, arrangements, even wreaths, although there’s nothing quite like using a whole stem!
Want to learn more about the tubes?
You can locate and buy the 30cm tubes (that can easily be cut or snapped down) and you can buy the 15cm in the ‘Florist Tools & Essentials’ in our Sundries London section of our webshop HERE or simple add ‘tubes’ into the search box. They are also available in 50cm these are available from our Sundries Holland stock, again, use the search box and enter ‘tube’ they’re called Floristry Sediment Tube in this listing. All are sold in boxes of 100 and come with the rubber caps. If you’ve never tried them they’re awesome! Perfect for Vanda orchids too.
#5 Eryngium
Eryngium add a distinctive look and texture throughout the year but in December the range grows considerably as they’re a favourite flower for dyeing.
They’re very well suited to it as a robust flower that loses nothing in the form of texture, but everything in the way of a bit of seasonal sparkle. Out of all of the fresh material that is available in a range of Christmas metallic colours, Eryngium could be the most cost efficient, outstanding option available.
