Choosing seasonally available flowers is an economically and environmentally sound choice. Because seasonal flowers are locally available, you don't have to spend extra money to have them shipped from hothouse producers or other parts of the world where the growing season is different.

Though late autumn might not leap to mind as a potential floral paradise, there are actually a number of flowers that bloom in November. What is available in November varies from region to region.

Sunflowers are one of the floral highlights of November in the northeastern United States. These bold, cheerful flowers look lovely in single-flower arrangements and are also a charmingly eclectic addition to a mixed arrangement.

Other November flowers include amaryllis, crab apple fruits and hydrangeas. Add interest to a bouquet or floral arrangement with ornamental berries or bittersweet, both of which are in season in the eastern U.S. in November.
