From Sa Dec Flower Village in Dong Thap Province to the ornamental hubs of Cho Lach, the production cycle has entered its most decisive phase, where every pot of flowers carries the hope of a prosperous Lunar New Year in Vietnam.
In Sa Dec, the country's largest flower-growing center, the sense of urgency is palpable from dawn to dusk. Along riverbanks and narrow lanes leading into garden plots, traffic flows nonstop as growers tend to their crops. Rows of chrysanthemums, marigolds, cockscombs, roses, and petunias are now perfectly shaped, buds swelling in unison as they await their moment to bloom.
With nearly 1,000 hectares under cultivation, more than 4,000 farming households, and some 2,000 varieties of flowers and ornamental plants, Sa Dec is regarded as one of Vietnam's most important floriculture hubs. The sector generates over VND3.3 trillion annually, forming a key pillar of the local agricultural economy. For the 2026 Lunar New Year, growers expect to supply around 1.1–1.2 million flower baskets to markets nationwide.
Along the Tien River, veteran flower grower Doan Huu Nhieu, who has spent more than three decades in the trade, is carefully inspecting each batch of plants. This season, his family introduced more than 100 new flower varieties.
