Wildflower Holiday Guide - Western Australia

When and where do the
wildflowers bloom?
Most Western Australian wildflowers bloom
in late winter or early spring, from July until
September. Some species require more
warmth for growth and therefore bloom in
late spring during the months of October
and November.
The wildflower season, beginning in the
Pilbara in July, commences slightly later as
you head south, concluding in the southern
regions in November. The season is subject
to weather variations, but generally
wildflowers can be seen in profusion in
Western Australia from July until November.
Each of the trails covered in this brochure
boast unique wildflower species due to
variances in environmental elements such
as soil type, local fauna, the broader plant
system, geological structure and, most
importantly, the weather.
