Winter in Australia
Flowers in season in July in Australia
July is deep winter and ranunculus season. Ranunculus, anemones, tulips from local growers, daffodils and early wattle fill the market, and waratahs start in some districts. Western Australia's wildflower season begins in the north this month and moves south through spring, so it's time to plan a Midwest road trip.
Season months from 34 Australian grower, wholesaler and market sources, checked 1 October 2026.

How to plant gladiolus corms
- Plant from late winter in frost-free areas, and wait for early spring where winters are cold and wet.
- Choose full sun, sheltered from strong wind, in light, well-drained soil improved with compost and aged manure.
- Set corms flat side down, growing tip up, 10 to 15cm deep and 10 to 15cm apart. Groups of six to nine look best.
- Put stakes in at planting time so you don't spear the corms later. Tall spikes need the support once they open.
- Keep the soil moist while they grow but never boggy. Feed with a flower fertiliser before flowering.
- Plant a new batch every 4 to 6 weeks for a longer run of flowers.
Tip: Let the leaves brown and die off before cutting them back, as they feed the corm for next year.
