The December Edit: What’s Blooming Now

December has its own kind of beauty. While the world outside quiets down, indoors is where things start to glow. We lean into texture, evergreen drama, and the kind of flowers that don’t mind a bit of cold. Here’s what we’re loving, stocking, and designing with this month at Flora Good Times.

Evergreens

Our December evergreens are doing the heavy lifting — adding scent, structure, and that undeniable winter feeling to everything they touch. Spruce, pine, juniper, and boxwood are all long-lasting and naturally beautiful, whether bundled into arrangements or standing alone in vases. They hold their color and fragrance, and they’re just as happy in a wreath as they are in a simple vase by the door. Mix and match for texture, or keep it clean and minimal — you really can’t go wrong.

Berries - Mistletoe, Holly, Winterberry Andromeda

Red berries bring the cheer — and we’ve got a few favorites. Holly is the classic: glossy green leaves and those iconic red pops. Andromeda (aka Pieris japonica) gives us long clusters of berries with a little more delicacy and movement. And then there’s mistletoe — more than just a kissing prop, it’s technically an air plant and considered invasive in the wild, but it still brings a playful, nostalgic vibe to doorways and garlands. (And yes, we’ve got it.)

Branches

If you're after height, drama, or just something sculptural to break up all the greenery, branches are your best friend. Magnolia brings broad, glossy leaves with warm copper undersides. Curly willow adds that wild, twisty energy, and yellow or red twig dogwood brings the color — bold, graphic, and incredibly striking, especially against evergreens. These branches look just as good solo as they do mixed in with other winter textures.

Narcissus aka Paperwhites

These little wonders are winter’s indoor stars. Bright white, delicately fragrant, and wildly satisfying to watch grow — Paperwhites bloom easily inside with just a little water, a windowsill, and some patience. Plant a few now and you’ll have something blooming for the New Year. They’re also perfect gifts if you want to give something beautiful and alive.

Scientific name: Narcissus papyraceus

Eucalyptus

Scientific name: Eucalyptus

Family: Myrtaceae

Genus: Eucalyptus

Kingdom: Plantae

Order: Myrtales

We love eucalyptus year-round, but in winter it really earns its keep. Whether it’s seeded, spiral, or silver dollar, eucalyptus adds movement, scent, and softness to any arrangement. Its silvery green tone cools down deeper greens and warms up whites — the perfect contrast in December. Bonus: it dries beautifully, so it keeps giving long after the holidays.

Indoor Flowering Plants - Pointsettias & Cyclamen

While we usually focus on cut flowers in our edits, we’re making an exception for two holiday must-haves: poinsettias and cyclamen. These indoor bloomers don’t belong in a vase — they thrive in their pots, offering color and life for weeks. Poinsettias come in more than just red (think blush, cream, and even speckled), while cyclamen brings delicate, crocus-like blooms and heart-shaped leaves that are perfect for smaller spaces. Both make thoughtful gifts or bright additions to your own windowsill this season.

We’re still making custom wreaths, evergreen bundles, and designer arrangements using all of the above — plus fragrant accents like cinnamon sticks, dried citrus, and seed pods. Whether you’re after minimal and moody or lush and festive, we’ve got you.

Come by the shop or drop us a note. Let’s make your space feel like winter (but better).
