Summer in Australia

Flowers in season in February in Australia

February is still summer, with Valentine's Day in the middle of it. Roses are everywhere and dearest in the week before the 14th, so it pays to order early or pick a summer flower instead. Tuberose, lisianthus, hydrangeas and dahlias are good now, and the first autumn dahlias start to arrive late in the month. Being confirmed

February birth flowers: Violet and Primrose

Violets mean faithfulness and primroses young love. Both are cool-weather plants, so an Australian February birthday usually calls for something else in season.
