What you’ll discover in ‘5 Top Cut Flowers for February’:
#1 Anemones
February sees Anemones take centre stage. You’ll find no shortage of them available as they arrive in abundance from France, Italy, and Holland.
Despite their delicate elegance, Anemones come in a riot of colours. There are too many varieties to list, but as you’ll very likely know, they are available in shades of white, blue, burgundy, red, magenta, fuchsia, cerise, violet, purple, nero (black), pink, pale pink, and numerous bi-colour variations.
While single Anemones are the most familiar, there’s an increasing selection of ‘Full Star’ varieties available, these are visually quite different with their near-double appearance.
If you’re looking for a truly alternative Anemone, the ‘Toppings’ selection from VIP Flowers offers something quite different, you may find them very interesting.

#2 Ranunculus
The selection of Ranunculus continues to grow, as does their quality. There is now such a diverse collection that it’s hard to believe they’re all related!
Here are some of the most popular types we frequently stock:
-
Pon Pon varieties – Tightly ruffled petals interspersed with flushes of green.
- Klooney, Clooney, Cloony – Large-headed varieties with an exceptionally high petal count.
-
Butterfly varieties – Unique single flowers with a waxed, sparkling appearance and multiple flowers per stem.
Ranunculus breeders, especially in Japan, have developed stunning new varieties, some as large as peonies. It’s an exciting space that continues to evolving rapidly – we’ll keep you posted!
VIP Flowers has a range of ‘Topping’ Ranunculus which you can see here. As with all the ‘Topping’ effects they are created by the flowers drinking a special coloured fluid that is completely natural and fully biodegradable, so there is no harm to the flowers or environment from the start to finish!
#3 Mimosa
Acacia
While there are many types of Acacia, including beautiful foliage varieties, this month, we’re focusing on the show-stopping Mimosa flowers. Their fluffy, golden pom-poms and sweet fragrance make them unmistakable.
Mimosa truly heralds the arrival of spring and works so beautifully with Easter décor (although we appreciate that’s not until Sunday 20th March). It is also a traditional symbol of International Women’s Day (8th March).
Whenever you choose to use it this season, make sure to enjoy all it has to offer!
#4 Flowering Shrubs
There are simply too many spectacular Flowering Shrubs to pick just one for our 5 Top Cut Flowers for February. How could we possibly choose between Syringa and Viburnum Roseum, let alone Prunus blossoms?
Within the Flowering Shrubs category you’ll discover seasonal treasures which are only available for a limited time, making them even more special and desirable.
Where to find them?
You’ll find our full selection listed in our webshop under ‘Berried / Flowering Shrubs’.
#5 Twigs and Sticks
They may be listed as ‘Twigs and Sticks’ in the webshop, but that hardly does justice to the interest they can add – not to mention their injection of seasonality.
Their structural appeal and natural textures make them an invaluable element that enhances designs. They truly deserve their place in the 5 Top Cut Flowers for February — and and rest assured, they’ll remain a firm favourite in the coming months too.
So, don’t overlook the humble ‘Twigs and Sticks’ this February!
