Autumn flowers at Rīgas Ziedi are florist's bouquets in autumn colours: roses, spray roses, lisianthus and exotic flowers in warm orange, burgundy, terracotta and peach tones, finished with seasonal accents: berries, physalis, autumn leaves. Autumn bouquets start from 24.25 EUR (sunflowers) and 39.60 EUR (a bouquet of orange roses), but most people choose a florist's bouquet at 55 to 80 EUR. We deliver in Riga within 2 hours, and you can also collect at our shop at Tallinas iela 83. We are a local Riga florist, not a relay service: the flowers are tied in our own shop by our own florists. In this article: what to choose when, what an autumn bouquet looks like, when to send one, what it costs and how to keep it fresh longer.
Autumn flowers month by month: September, October, November
There is no distinct season for Latvian-grown flowers in autumn. Almost all cut flowers are imported from the Netherlands, Kenya, Ecuador, Colombia and other growing countries, so roses, spray roses, lisianthus, gerberas and orchids are available all year round in the same quality. An autumn flower is more about colour and mood: warm orange, burgundy and terracotta tones, berries and autumn leaves, what people choose when the days turn cool and grey. Only the accents change a little, for example sunflowers and asters are easier to get in autumn.
- September: sunflowers, asters and hydrangeas are the usual accents, so September bouquets are the most colourful.
- October: bouquets are built on roses and spray roses in warm tones, lisianthus, hydrangeas in burgundy and green, with physalis, berry branches and autumn leaves as accents.
- November: roses, lisianthus and exotic flowers in autumn colours, and the first winter touches appear in bouquets: fir, cones, eucalyptus.
The base of an autumn bouquet at Rīgas Ziedi is the same quality year-round flowers as in spring and summer; the autumn character comes from the palette and the accents. Single stems can be ordered under cut flowers.
Colours and ingredients of an autumn bouquet
You recognise an autumn bouquet by its warm palette: orange, yellow, burgundy, terracotta, peach and deep red. Florists tie them in a looser garden style, with more greenery and natural accents than spring bouquets.
- Base: roses and spray roses in autumn tones, lisianthus, exotic flowers (orchids, cymbidium), gerberas.
- Seasonal flowers: sunflowers and hydrangeas, dahlias and asters in September.
- Accents: physalis, hypericum berries, rowan branches, oak and maple leaves, ornamental mini pumpkins.
- Greenery: eucalyptus, ruscus, grasses, ferns.
For a calmer look choose a single-palette bouquet: peach roses with eucalyptus, or spray roses with gypsophila. For something bold, the best choice is a mixed seasonal bouquet that the florist ties from whatever is freshest that day.
When to send autumn flowers in Riga
- A birthday in September, October or November: a florist's bouquet in autumn colours feels more personal than a standard rose bouquet, especially if she lives in Riga and you are abroad; for a classic, choose roses in autumn tones: peach, orange, burgundy.
- Just because: sunflowers or a seasonal bouquet delivered to her office or home on a grey afternoon are a small surprise that works every time.
- Teachers' Day (first Sunday of October) and 1 September: sunflowers, spray roses or a small seasonal bouquet that lasts well in a classroom.
- Thank you to a colleague, doctor or host: a neutral seasonal bouquet or lisianthus that can be sent to an office or a hotel.
- Latvian autumn traditions: Miķeļi (29 September) and Mārtiņi (10 November) are harvest festivals where a bouquet with berries, mini pumpkins and grasses fits perfectly.

How long autumn flowers last in a vase
- Roses: 7 to 12 days; trim the stems and change the water every two days.
- Lisianthus: 10 to 14 days, one of the longest-lasting bouquet flowers; the buds open one after another.
- Spray roses: 7 to 10 days; remove faded heads and the rest keep opening.
- Sunflowers: 6 to 10 days; use a vase with plenty of water, sunflowers drink a lot.
- Hydrangeas: 5 to 10 days; if the heads start to droop, submerge the whole flower in cool water for a couple of hours.
- Chrysanthemums: 2 to 3 weeks, longer than almost any other cut flower.
The basics for all of them: cut the stems at an angle, change the water every two days, keep the vase away from radiators and the fruit bowl.
