Cheer your year with fresh scented flowers delivered direct to your front door, thanks to Scilly Flowers
Just imagine the smile on the face of someone who receives a gift box of scented flowers through the post on a dull mid-winter day. Enter our competition and you could win 12 boxes of scented narcissi – worth over £290 – to send to your friends… however, we won’t judge if you choose to enjoy a few yourself.
Grown in the traditional way in a patchwork of small, sheltered fields on the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast, the winter crop of scented narcissi flourishes outdoors without any additional heat or light from October to Easter.
As the flowers are delivered directly from where they’re grown, they have a far lower carbon footprint than those grown in heated glasshouses or flown in from further afield. This makes scented narcissi one of the most sustainable and thoughtful ways to give flowers and brighten a loved one’s day, whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or just to let a friend or family member know that you’re thinking about them.
Once the scented narcissi season comes to an end, owners of Scilly Flowers, Zoe and Ben Julian, and their team turn their attention to a mixture of spring flowers such as iris and gladioli. As summer starts, the pickers at Churchtown Farm on the island of St Martin’s, start harvesting the summer crop of scented pinks. Similar to carnations, pinks have a subtle hue and a delicate fragrance.
On an island, fresh water is a particularly precious resource, and the pinks are grown in coir-filled tubs that reduce the need for irrigation. Once on display, these blooms will brighten any room and are a reminder of the joy that is home-grown in Scilly.
