Cherry Blossom Season — When It's in Season
When to buy cherry blossom: its peak season, availability through the year, and the closest substitutes when it's out of season.
Buy a flower in its season and you get it at its best — freshest, longest-lasting and best value. Here is when this flower peaks, how long its window runs, and what to reach for when it is out of season.
Cherry Blossom: peak season
Peak season: March and April — this is when the flower is most abundant, best quality and usually best priced.
Generally available: February, March and April.
Cherry Blossom: the best time to buy
For the freshest stems and the friendliest price, buy in peak season. Outside it, expect shorter supply, higher prices and imported stock — plan weddings and events around the peak window where you can.
Out of season? What to use instead
When this flower is hard to find, the substitute finder suggests the closest matches by look and vase life, so an arrangement keeps its shape and feel year-round.
