The Covent Garden market handles rising editions of Scilly flowers with twenty tons often shipped by a single steamer during peak season and up to thirty tons at times. The Scilly flower trade expanded from a few garden experiments to a major industry, with many residents turning to narcissi and daffodils and sheltering crops from strong winds. The climate offers mild frost and steady temperatures, supporting square garden plots divided by hedges for each variety, especially older types like Scilly white and soleil d'or. The season runs from Christmas through May, with March and April the busiest months, and a wide range of blooms including marguerites, gladioli, arum lilies, and wallflowers.
