The Knowledge — Field To Florist
Crop Report, 14th May 2026: Chelsea Week, Peonies Rolling, and Stocks Running Short
April showers finally arrived in May, and the fields are exploding! Everything is coming in fast for Chelsea week, which means a hectic logistics loop across Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire. Please order a few days ahead to help us secure your stems in top condition.
Here is what you need to know right now:
-
Peonies in Full Stride: Fresh cuts are arriving every other day, including supersized stems from Norfolk. Event florists, lock in your standing orders now.
-
Stocks Running Short: We’ve sold out twice already. Because the grower is at the edge of our radius, we need a few days' notice—no last-minute top-ups available!
-
Trending Blooms: Alliums are having a viral moment on social media, and budget-friendly Sweet Williams are delivering great value.
-
Last Chance: It's the absolute final cut for Viburnum opulus. Miss it and it's gone until next year.
See you at Chelsea on Tuesday!
