In connection with Women’s Day on March 8, domestic flower shops expect significant traffic this year as well. After the Christmas period, the turnover of domestic florists slowly increases every year, and the demand jumps significantly in connection with Women’s Day on March 8. According to the joint market overview of the National Chamber of Agriculture and the Hungarian Ornamental Gardeners Association, the offer will be extensive this year as well, in addition to various cut flowers – which almost always come to the flower market from abroad – there will also be a good number of potted plants in the shops.

The best sellers at this time are spring flowers, tulips, daffodils, and playpens – either in pots or in cut form

In many flower shops, customers are welcomed with small or large bouquets or arrangements of these flowers made especially for this occasion. In addition to spring-grown bulbs, the early spring perennial primula is also available domestically, but other potted flowering and decorative leaf plants, from the Cape violet to the azalea, are also popular.

Experience shows that more and more people are greeting ladies with a potted plant instead of a bouquet of flowers

The largest proportion of domestically grown flowers can be found in the latter category. According to the expectations of horticulture and flower shops, the demand this year is expected to be similar to previous years. Which indicates that Hungarian customers will not give up buying flowers in the spring, despite the possibly higher prices.
