A Guide to Winter Flowers
Winter is a season of crisp air, cosy evenings, and a touch of magic in the atmosphere. While the world outside may seem quiet and dormant, winter flowers bring a vibrant splash of colour and life to the season. At Feehily's Florist in Sligo, we celebrate the beauty of winter blooms, offering a selection of flowers perfect for brightening your home and heart.
The Beauty of Winter Blooms
Winter flowers are uniquely resilient, thriving in colder temperatures and shorter days. Their colours and fragrances remind us that beauty can flourish even in the most challenging conditions. Popular winter flowers include:
-
Amaryllis: With its bold, trumpet-shaped blooms, amaryllis adds a dramatic flair to any arrangement. Its vibrant reds and whites are perfect for the holiday season.
-
Poinsettias: A classic winter favourite, poinsettias are synonymous with Christmas. Their bright red and green foliage brings festive cheer to any space.
-
Paper whites: These delicate white flowers not only look stunning but also fill the air with a sweet, intoxicating fragrance.
-
Hellebores: Often called the “Christmas rose,” hellebores bloom in soft pinks, whites, and purples, offering understated elegance.
-
Carnations: Available in a variety of colours, carnations are long-lasting and versatile, making them ideal for winter arrangements.
Decorating with Winter Flowers
Winter flowers are perfect for decorating your home, office, or event space. Here are some ideas to make the most of these seasonal blooms:
-
Festive Centrepieces: Create a stunning centrepiece for your dining table using a mix of amaryllis, poinsettias, and greenery like pine and holly. Your home can enjoy an extra touch of warmth with these arrangements.

Wreaths and Garlands: Incorporate winter flowers into wreaths or garlands to adorn your doorways and mantels. Add a bit of charm by including local greenery.

Accent Pieces: Place small arrangements of carnations or poinsettias on side tables, windowsills, or desks for a touch of seasonal charm. They’re perfect for adding a cosy vibe to your space.
