Wholesale Flower Buying Guide & Availability Update: February 2026

The floral market is shifting fast this season, and designers who plan ahead will win big. Whether you’re stocking up for Valentine’s Day, refreshing weekly standing orders, or prepping for spring event builds, Florasource is keeping you fully informed with real‑time availability, seasonal insights, and smart buying strategies.

This guide breaks down what’s strong, what’s limited, and what you should secure early to stay ahead of demand.


Premium Roses: Strong Supply, High Demand

Roses remain the centerpiece of February buying, and farms are pushing excellent quality across all lengths.

What’s Looking Best Right Now

  • 40–50cm Assorted Roses — consistent color, tight centers, excellent hydration response
  • Premium Reds (Freedom, Explorer, Red Paris) — strong availability but moving quickly
  • Nudes & Neutrals (Quicksand, Sahara, Vendela) — stable supply, ideal for designers building modern palettes

Buying Tip

Secure your reds early. Neutrals are more flexible, but reds will tighten as we approach the holiday window.


Designer Greenery: Stable, Beautiful, and Budget‑Friendly

Greenery continues to be one of the most reliable categories this month.

Top Performers

  • Italian Ruscus — lush, elegant, long‑lasting
  • Israeli Ruscus — clean lines, perfect for structure
  • Eucalyptus (Baby Blue, Silver Dollar, Parvifolia) — excellent color and scent
  • Leatherleaf — strong supply and great value for volume work

Buying Tip

If you’re building large installs or ceremony pieces, eucalyptus is your best cost‑to‑impact ratio right now.


Seasonal Favorites: Limited but Exceptional

Some seasonal items are showing beautiful quality but tighter availability.

Worth Grabbing Early

  • Ranunculus — gorgeous but limited; colors vary week to week
  • Anemones — strong quality, especially whites and deep jewel tones
  • Tulips — excellent for Valentine’s and early spring palettes
  • Hyacinth — fragrant, vibrant, and perfect for textural work

Buying Tip

Seasonal blooms fluctuate quickly. If you see a color you love, book it — it may not repeat next week.


Budget‑Friendly Workhorses: Great Value This Month

If you’re building volume arrangements or retail bundles, these categories are performing extremely well:

  • Carnations (Standard & Mini) — consistent quality, wide color range
  • Alstroemeria — long vase life, excellent for mixed bouquets
  • Chrysanthemums — dependable, affordable, and versatile

Buying Tip

Use these varieties to stretch your premium blooms without sacrificing design impact.


Logistics & Lead Times

To keep your workflow smooth:

  • Place Valentine’s orders as early as possible
  • Expect slight delays on specialty imports
  • Standard standing‑order items remain stable and predictable
