Tết flowers: what people buy, what it means, and when to order

About Tết — Vietnamese Lunar New Year

Tết, the Lunar New Year, is when demand for flowers peaks in Vietnam. Flowers for the home and the family altar (apricot blossom, peach, chrysanthemum, gladiolus) and gifts for others (phalaenopsis orchids, corporate new-year arrangements) should be ordered one to two weeks ahead — stock runs short and prices rise.

Who are the Tết flowers for?

For the home and the altar

Yellow apricot blossom, peach, kumquat, pompom chrysanthemum, gladiolus and orchids — for luck and for a house that feels ready.
