Lilac in Israel: when you can send it
Lilac needs a cold winter to flower, so it is a flower of the spring in colder countries rather than of the Israeli coast. Cut lilac is still available for part of the year. When we have it, the bouquets with lilac appear below and in the shop.

Where cut lilac comes from
Most cut lilac sold by florists is grown in the Netherlands, where growers force lilac into flower out of season. Forcing is slow and the woody stems are heavy to ship, which is why lilac costs more than most flowers.
When lilac is in season
- November to April: forced lilac from Dutch growers.
- April and May: the natural spring season in Europe.
- Summer and early autumn: lilac is rarely available.
Keeping lilac
Lilac lasts a short time in a vase, often around four days. Cut the woody stems at an angle, give them plenty of fresh water and keep them cool and out of the sun.
