Season months from 47 Australian grower, wholesaler and market sources, checked 8 November 2026.
Brisbane's subtropical warmth puts it ahead of the rest of the country. Jacarandas flower here in September and October, before Sydney's, and frangipani and gardenias carry on through the long summer. The Brisbane Flower Market at Rocklea supplies most of south-east Queensland and, unlike Melbourne's market, sells to anyone who walks in, six days a week. Growers on the Darling Downs, in the Lockyer Valley and around the Scenic Rim fill out the supply, along with glasshouse orchids and gerberas. The big flower event is the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, about 90 minutes west, which runs from mid-September into early October. Closer in, the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha are free and open every day.
