Flower holidays when you live in Vietnam

If you have moved to Vietnam, two things will surprise you. The holidays you grew up with are not flower days here, and the days that are will catch you off guard, because the whole city buys flowers at once.

• 14 February
  Valentine's Day

  Widely celebrated in Vietnam and one of the busiest days of the year for florists. Roses are everywhere but prices rise; ordering two or three days ahead is the difference between a good bouquet and whatever is left.

• 8 March
  International Women's Day

  Taken seriously here in a way it is not in most countries. Offices give flowers to every woman on the team. If you manage a Vietnamese team, this one matters.

• 20 October
  Vietnamese Women's Day

  A second women’s day, this one specific to Vietnam and just as big. There is no equivalent abroad, so it is the day expats most often miss.

• Second Sunday of May
  Mother's Day

  Growing in Vietnam but still modest. Carnations come from Đà Lạt and are not plentiful in early May, order a few days ahead.

• 24–25 December
  Christmas

  Widely celebrated. Wreaths, poinsettias and small trees are available. Order by around 10–12 December for the best choice.

• Late January, February
  Tết (Lunar New Year)

  Most florists in Vietnam close for several days. Whatever you need over Tết, order before the holiday starts.

What to know when ordering here

• On Vietnamese flower days, 8 March and 20 October, the good stems are gone by mid-morning. Order a day or two ahead, not on the morning itself.
• Delivery dates and times run on Vietnam time (GMT+7). Same-day inside Ho Chi Minh City; order the day before for Hanoi and other provinces.
• We send you a photo of the actual arrangement when it is handed over, not a catalogue picture.
• A greeting card in English is included. Write the message at checkout.
