What Is the Theme of the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026?
This year's show celebrates the Stock (Matthiola incana) as its featured flower, under the theme "A Fragrant Journey through Hong Kong".

The Free Flower Giveaway on the Final Day

After the event closes, organisers distribute leftover flowers and potted plants to the public — one pot per person, on a first-come, first-served basis. Queues can be very long, so arrive early if you want to take a piece of the show home.

Top Tips for Visiting the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026
Visit on a weekday to avoid the largest crowds. Weekends, especially the opening weekend, are extremely busy.
Arrive at opening time (9am) for the most relaxed experience and best photo opportunities before crowds build.
Seniors and people with disabilities enjoy free entry Monday to Friday — take advantage of this.
Go green: Organisers encourage visitors to bring reusable water bottles, food containers, cutlery, and shopping bags. Recycling and food waste bins are provided throughout the venue.
Wear comfortable shoes — the park is large and a full visit involves considerable walking.
Plan for the giveaway — if attending on 29 March, join the queue early to secure your free plant.
