The Tet holiday is approaching, and families have started decorating their homes with various types of flowers, hoping for luck and peace. Among them, Winterberry has always been a top choice for many families, not only for its unique beauty but also for its special meaning. Let’s explore this flower together!
1 What is Winterberry?
Winterberry displays its red beauty, bringing luck
Winterberry, also known as Winterberry Red, is a flower imported from the United States or the Netherlands and has become a favorite during the Tet holiday.
Winterberry prefers cold weather and lasts a long time, so it can be enjoyed for many days. Therefore, during transportation to Vietnam, the flowers are carefully refrigerated to maintain freshness as they only thrive in low temperatures.
Unlike traditional Vietnamese peach blossoms, Winterberry branches do not bear many petals. Instead, they boast clusters of small, round, red berries that grow densely on the branches.
Winterberry branches tend to have multiple subdivisions, and the flowers grow densely, with sparse leaves, allowing the characteristic deep red color of the flowers to stand out.

Feng shui significance: Winterberry also enhances the beauty and vibrancy of indoor spaces during the holiday season. You can hang couplets or good luck wishes on the Winterberry tree, symbolizing hopes for a peaceful, happy, and lucky year for your family.
3 How to Choose the Best Winterberry
Tips for choosing beautiful Winterberry
To get the perfect Winterberry bouquet for Tet, consider the following:
First, regarding timing and flower preservation, it is best to purchase Winterberry three to five days in advance. If you buy too early, the flowers may bloom and wither before the Lunar New Year. Conversely, if you buy too late, the flowers may not bloom in time for Tet. Once you’ve made your purchase, store the flowers in a cool place (air conditioning is ideal) as they thrive in cold temperatures.
Next, choosing a reputable and quality flower supplier is crucial. In Vietnam, Winterberry can be expensive due to import costs. Therefore, carefully select a trustworthy vendor to avoid issues like wilted or damaged flowers or products that don’t match their advertised images.
Winterberry thrives in low-temperature environments
Another consideration is choosing the right height. As Winterberry originates from Western countries with low temperatures, the plants can grow quite large. When purchasing, select a branch size that suits your home’s space. Avoid choosing overly large branches that take up too much room. It’s best to consult with the shop staff for specific advice and guidance.
Finally, pay attention to the different parts of the plant. Opt for branches with round canopies, evenly spaced subdivisions, small buds, and flowers scattered from the top to the bottom of the branch, evenly distributed across all subdivisions. The flowers should be a vibrant red with double petals and thick layers. A little tip for creating a stunning Winterberry arrangement is to choose branches with leaves, combining green and red for a beautiful contrast.
