Season months from 52 Australian grower, wholesaler and market sources, checked 8 November 2026.
Tasmania runs a few weeks behind the mainland, so Hobart's spring comes later and its season for waratahs runs from September all the way to December. Tasmanian tulips flower in September and October, peonies peak in December and lavender is purple through summer. The best-known flower sights are up north and a good drive from the city: Table Cape's tulip fields near Wynyard and Bridestowe's lavender at Nabowla. Closer to Hobart, Port Arthur Lavender on the Tasman Peninsula is open daily. Hobart has no central public flower market , so most cut flowers come through local florists, and Tasmanian growers send their late-season stems to mainland markets too. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, on the Queens Domain near the city centre, are the place to see what's flowering.
