What are the red Christmas flowers called?
There are many red flowers at Christmas. They include red roses, red tulips, red amaryllis, red festive foliage, and red-berried branches, such as ilex berries and hypericum.

How long does a Christmas Lily last?
A Christmas Lily will last up to three weeks, and can last longer when cut and put in a vase than they would when left on a plant. Their flower buds can take a week to fully open, then last for another week to two weeks following that. You should keep your Christmas Lily stems in their own vase for the first week, after which they can be arranged with other stems.
Are there any winter flowers?
Yes! There are plenty of striking seasonal flowers in the winter. Winter flowers include tulips, amaryllis, ranunculus, and anemones, as well as carnations, calla lilies, and coloured seasonal foliage and branches including hypericum and ilex berries. You can also shop for winter roses, which come in shades including festive red and snowy white. Orchids are also often associated with being Christmas flowers, thanks to their seasonality and long vase life making them a great gift.
