The Joy of Spring Blooms
There’s something special about Spring on the South Coast – the days get longer, the ocean sparkles, and gardens everywhere start bursting with colour. For us at Blooming Lovely, it’s our favourite time of year to work with nature’s best.
Fresh, local, in-season flowers aren’t just beautiful – they’re sustainable, last longer, and have that natural just-picked vibrance that imported blooms simply can’t match.
If you’re curious about what’s in bloom right now in Kiama and surrounding areas, here’s your guide to the most beautiful seasonal flowers to gift, style, or enjoy in your own home this Spring.
What’s Blooming Right Now on the South Coast
Spring brings a wave of vibrant flowers to our local markets – many grown right here in New South Wales. Some of our favourites include:
Ranunculus: Soft, layered petals in every pastel shade imaginable. They symbolise charm and elegance – perfect for thank-you or “just because” gifts.
Sweet Peas: Fragrant, delicate, and nostalgic. These colourful little climbers fill any room with a gentle scent of Spring.
Daffodils & Jonquils: Sunny and cheerful, they’re among the first blooms of Spring and bring instant warmth to any space.
Gerberas: Available in bold pinks, oranges, and yellows – they’re happy flowers that last beautifully in a vase.
Natives in Season: South Coast markets also shine with wax flowers, kangaroo paw, and banksia. These add texture, depth, and a truly Australian feel to arrangements.
Why Choose Seasonal Flowers
Choosing what’s in season isn’t just about looks – it’s about freshness and sustainability.
When flowers don’t need to travel long distances, they:
- Stay fresher for longer.
- Require less packaging and refrigeration.
- Support local growers and reduce carbon emissions.
At Blooming Lovely, we build our daily designs around what’s best at the markets that morning. That means every bunch reflects the season, not a catalogue.
Colour Palettes of Spring
Spring on the South Coast is full of colour – think blush pinks, bright corals, creamy whites, and buttery yellows.
It’s also the time when we see more mixed arrangements – loose, garden-style posies with soft textures and sweet scents.
If you’re decorating for Spring, try pairing pale pinks with soft greens or mixing native foliage with classic blooms for a natural, coastal feel.
How to Make Your Blooms Last
Even the freshest flowers need a little love. To get the most from your seasonal bunch:
- Trim stems on an angle before placing in water.
- Refresh the water every two days.
- Keep flowers away from direct sunlight or drafts.
- Remove wilted blooms to help the rest last longer.
