The best flowers Cardiff has to offer, the most diverse flowers Fulham provides and the most exciting flowers in Manchester are bound to bring smiles to family homes around the country as people gear up for what is expected to be a very cold Christmas.

The festive period is only just around the corner and florists all over the country are already thinking about how they are going to spruce up their house and bring some floral warmth to their family throughout the winter months.

Interflora, the leading flower experts in the UK, are keen to bring the best flowers in the country to flower fans everywhere to enjoy the festivities in style. There is nothing better than a nice, lively and colourful display of flowers in the fire-heated living room when it is unbearably cold outside.

While the florist is preparing its Halloween displays to follow on from the success of last year, florists around the country are enlisting its help for their own displays. Such is the talent of the experts at Interflora that they create innovative displays for all kinds of events across the entire calendar.

Christmas, though, is undoubtedly one of their favourites as they love nothing more than bringing even more smiles to faces across the country. The poinsettia is the traditional flower that is used in the UK during the festive period. Its vivacious red petals will brighten up any room in the house, so you’ll never be left feeling anything less than Christmassy, no matter where you are in the house.

Florists grow poinsettias indoors in the run up to Christmas, but the foliage is particularly susceptible to damage from the cold weather, so bringing the flower home safely is the most crucial initial part of maintaining a poinsettia. It is important that you wrap the plant up before you leave the florist, either in paper or a plastic bag.

Despite the fact that they don’t like the cold, poinsettias blossom to their best away from sunshine but still in bright light. In fact, if it is looked after correctly, the poinsettia can blossom again the following Christmas, so you get even more warmth and delight from it than you might have bargained for!
