There’s something magical about flowers that are in season. They’re fresher, more vibrant, and often more fragrant — not to mention more sustainable and cost-effective. At Flowers & Hampers, we love celebrating the natural rhythm of the year by highlighting the best blooms available each month in the UAE.
So if you're wondering what flowers are at their peak right now — whether for a birthday, celebration, or just to brighten someone’s day — here’s what’s blooming this month and how to make the most of it in your next bouquet.
Why Seasonal Flowers Matter
Seasonal flowers are:
- Fresher (less time in transit means longer vase life)
- More affordable (because they’re more readily available)
- Eco-friendly (reduced need for refrigerated shipping)
- Beautifully natural (they reflect the time of year in both look and feel)
Whether you're ordering a corporate floral arrangement or a romantic bouquet, choosing seasonal flowers ensures your gift is in harmony with the moment.
What’s Blooming in the UAE This Month? (May)
Here in the UAE, May is a transitional month — moving from spring’s bloom into early summer warmth. Luckily, this period offers a rich variety of fresh, colorful, and resilient flowers.
🌷 Tulips
While they’re traditionally spring flowers, many tulip varieties are still available early in May. Their elegance and simple shape make them a classic choice for romantic gestures and thank-you gifts.
Colors to look for: White, pink, red, and purple
Perfect for: Anniversaries, love notes, birthdays
🌻 Sunflowers
A symbol of positivity and optimism, sunflowers are strong enough to withstand the heat and are becoming more common in early summer arrangements.
Why we love them: Bold, eye-catching, and joyful
Perfect for: Get-well-soon gifts, friendship bouquets, congratulations
🌸 Roses (All Colors)
Roses are available year-round in the UAE, but certain varieties are at their peak in May. Whether you're after classic red or soft blush pink, now’s the time to enjoy their full bloom and fragrance.
Perfect for: Romantic occasions, client appreciation, sympathy arrangements
🌼 Gerberas
Known for their cheerful daisy-like shape and vibrant colors, gerberas thrive in warm weather and are a great long-lasting flower.
Available shades: Bright yellow, orange, white, pink
Perfect for: Corporate gifting, baby showers, cheerful “just because” bouquets
💐 Lisianthus
Delicate, elegant, and available in soft purples, pinks, and creams, lisianthus add a romantic, vintage touch to any bouquet. They also blend beautifully with roses and hydrangeas.
Perfect for: Weddings, thank-you gifts, soft neutral arrangements
🌿 Seasonal Fillers and Foliage
A great bouquet is about more than just the blooms. May is also a great time for:
- Eucalyptus (fresh scent, adds volume)
- Ruscus (deep green, durable)
- Baby’s Breath (airy, delicate filler)
These green additions add shape, texture, and fragrance to every arrangement.
