Good evening.
Lilies are still one of the strongest lines on the floor, and they’re coming from more growers this week. Sunflower has held up well too, although the outdoor season is running out of road.
There’s another frost warning for Friday. If dahlia or sunflower is on your list, I wouldn’t leave it too long.
Here’s what’s looking good this week, what I’d move on early, and a few growers to have a look at.

This week’s signal
More choice in lilies this week.
Growers 375, 334, 351 and 328 all have lilies in this week, so there’s a wider mix of colours to choose from than last week.
They’re greenhouse grown, so the frost doesn’t touch them, and they’re a dependable line to plan around while the outdoor crops finish up.

From the market
What I’d move on early, and what there’s plenty of.
|
|
Dahlia
Dahlia is down to what made it through last week’s frost, and there’s another frost warning for Friday. Grower 390 has most of what’s on the floor, with a little from growers 229 and 339.
If you still want dahlia this season, I’d order it now.
|
|
|
Sunflower
Sunflower has held up better than expected, and there’s still plenty on the floor. Last week I said to move early after the frost, but growers 390, 361, 360 and 328 still have good supply this week.
Most of it is outdoor grown, though, so we’re close to the end of the season.
