This is a feature street market in Mongkok located just north of Prince Edward West Road, around a 5 minute walk from both Prince Edward and the Mongkok East MTR Stations. The Mongkok Flower Market has dozens of shops and is worth seeing anytime of of the year. However, it is particularly interesting now during the Chinese New Year season.
At this time of year, the flower market is thriving with shops and added stalls filled with seasonal flowers, plants and decorations. You'll be able to see daffodils, orchids, chrysanthemums and holiday specials including Narcissus, peonies, kumquat (mandarin orange) plants, bamboo shoots, colourful willow stems and cherry blossom stems amongst others.
Do expect crowds when you plan to visit the Flower Market but especially during the Chinese New Year - to a point of being uncomfortable in the evenings and weekends. As such, consider midday weekday visits during CNY when things are more manageable and its easier to take pictures.

Flower Market Road is a centuries-old flower market in Mong Kok. Always popular among both locals and tourists, it becomes extremely crowded before major holidays and festivals. Price remains cheap and the variety is remarkable. Lovely place to explore.

This is a pleasant visit when there is no rain. You can spend 20 mins to an hour or so depending the aim of your visit. If you don’t intend to buy any products, just take a walk (it’s like 2 or 3 streets). Don’t expect to many take photos with the flowers as they are for sale and retailers may not like people posing around. It’s very near the train station which makes it an easy visit. Expect crowds if you go before Chinese New Year. Otherwise, it should not be too crowded.

We had a beautiful day at the flower market. Once we found it, several streets are mainly for flowers, plants, trees and pottery.
The further in you explore, we noticed the prices were cheaper. Some people with negotiate prices but others will not. I had trouble finding a crystal vase for flowers. Everything you see is ceramic or glass.
A wonderful place for girls to shop.

It is is an interesting place to visit. There are so many flower shops in this area.
The Pros :
1. The high variety of plants and garden features makes for an interesting and pretty stroll.
2. The plants are really cheap and high quality,
3. All of the shop fronts and stalls are along one road which makes it easy to find and see everything.
4. No pushy sales or bothersome staff - everyone was very relaxed and you are just left to look around which is refreshing in a market environment.
5-Relax and smell good scents.
Cons:
1. The main activity is looking at garden features/flowers which might not appeal to everyone.
2-This place not famous and I ask to find the street.
3-Weather too Bad in Honk Kong too Hot and Humid you should come after noon.
100 % wroth visit.

The Mongkok Flower market is a nice little attraction, you can spent a good hour going through the street side shops in this area, admiring the many flower, plants, bonsai, etc.
While its a nice attraction on its own, its best to combine with other Mongkok area markets, particularly the Bird Market that is attached to the Flower Market on the corner of Yuen Po Street. Fai Yuan street is 3 minutes away and one street over is the Goldfish market (as exotic as they come). We recommend combining these 4 area markets in Mongkok for a great afternoon of sight seeing in Hong Kong.

I buy flowers for my home regularly. After years of shopping with my 2 regular florists in Hong Kong, I finally made my way to the Flower Market in Mongkok. I must admit it is a bit if a trek from where I live but well worth the effort. I recommend that you either combine it with a visit to other markets in the Mongkok area (its right next to the Fish Market) if you just want to have a look or plan to buy quite a bit to make the trip worthwhile. I had a great time there enjoying the blooms and plants. There are even shops that sell silk flowers, florists' materials, pots and everything flora related. The prices are a fraction of what you would pay at the florists and range is superb. I bought a bunch of 10 roses for $25, azeleas in full bloom for $30, African voilets in a pot for $15 and a bonsai for $58. The potting mix I bought was far superior to the ones I get from the supermarkets - it actually contained soil and no fillers such as polystyrene bits. I planned to just visit and ended up with more than an armful.

Hong Kong Flower Market 花墟
I had searched about Hong Kong Flower Market in Prince Edward prior to my trip earlier this month. I was quite excited for this excursion to help me feel more like a local. Hopefully, this review will help other like minded travelers find additional confidence in paying this lesser known attraction a visit.
Having the pleasure of traveling the world for 45 years, I have in the last decade developed a slightly self-indulgent habit: now whenever I’m staying for 3 nights or more, I’d make it a point to buy some flowers to dress up the room. It makes me happy to wake up to a fresh bouquet or come back to a welcoming orchid after a long day of sightseeing. It makes me treasure those days and reflect on how lucky I am.
All can be done on a budget, of course. I typically find the least expensive glass vase and some favorite Casablancas. It’s doable for around USD10 even in high earning NYC and HK. One just has to go to where the locals shop.
On this trip, I was hoping to find both potted plants (orchids) and fresh cut flowers. I am very happy to report that it was an easy feat.
This market encompasses approximately 2 city blocks (long and skinny in E-W orientation). The overall area is not huge but the variety of vendors do cover a myriad of needs. Space utilization is a specialty and necessity in dense Asian metropolises. I saw everything that one may need for an indoor oasis: fungi, cacti, succulents, from white Casablancas to pink stargazers and every color in between, hydrangeas, roses, orchids etc. etc. Vendors sell single stems, bunches in different numbers and in bouquets (ready-made or custom); even single blossoms. I was impressed by many of the ready-made ones. Especially the smaller bouquets, no doubt catering the budget minded romantics in this space precious, dense metropolis.
There are high-end boutiques as well as basic distributors. There are stores that specialize in gardening supplies and those for vases & vessels. Most needs and budgets are covered.
My visit coincided with the month of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a few stores carried the festive lanterns. It was such nostalgia from my childhood. I only wished I could have taken some of the more elaborate ones back to the States. I did buy a few more transport friendly ones from Brighten’s (Flori-Art Plaza) location at Pr. Edward Rd. W & Sai Yee.
I have no doubt that the market will be extremely festive in celebration of each of the traditional Chinese (lunar) and western holidays. It would be a joy to see the full regalia of cherry blossoms and kumquats during CNY; and, poinsettia & evergreens during Christmas.
I visited the market 3 times on my 10-day trip. Twice to replenish (more as an indulgence than a necessity) and once for gifts.
My suggestion is for any plant and flower lovers to pay the market a visit. Give yourself 2 hours to walk the entire market; talk to the vendors, ask questions, take notes on stock and prices; then decide on which ones to revisit (and barter with).
Yes, you can barter with some, especially if you’re buying multiple items. Prices do vary and some are not posted (listed). They will price according to your dress and demeanor. So do your homework, it’s part of the challenge and fun. But remember, these vendors’ prices are already better than those found elsewhere in the city; so do tread carefully.
Happy hunting. 🤗
Tips:
* The market is only a short 5-min walk from the Prince Edward MTR Station.
* The market is encompassed by the Mong Kok Stadium (旺角大球場) to the north, Prince Edward Road West (太子道西) to the south, Yuen Po Street (園圃街)to the east and Sai Yee Street (洗衣街)(which is the phonetic for washing clothes street) to the west.
* The market is adjacent to the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden (園圃街雀鳥花園), which also serves both as a place for gathering bird lovers and a market for their supplies from feeds to bird cages and a variety of birds. It offers a glimpse to a diminishing hobby of Hongkongers. Nostalgia for those of us who grew up visiting dim sum restaurants for breakfast and seeing and hearing these delightful creatures sing to their owners and friends. A word of caution to the odor sensitive souls, which can be an issue at large for many Hong Kong sights. But, hey, it’s all part of the charm for cross-cultural experiences, right?
* Vendors do pack your purchases with your commute in mind without prompting and the packaging were adequate for my MTR rides. But don’t be shy to ask if you feel you need to double bag.
* I don’t consider myself very price savvy. However, I have no doubt these vendors are experts and it’s also part of our culture. As a traveler, I see no need to barter to the penny. Bartering is a game, it’s an art of give and take; please enjoy it as such. But do your homework. Also, do count the items that your purchase, because mistakes do happen. Case in point, I bought a package of anthuriums. I saw 4 blossoms but when I was paying, the salesperson counted out 5 stems. As I was in a hurry for dinner, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and did not think to recount them. Sure enough there was a headless stem. Live and learn.
* There are places to grab drinks and snacks within this 2 block enclave. Espresso drinks and specialty teas in the high end Hay Fever, HK-style herbal drinks, HK-style bakeries (e.g. Saint Honore) and HK-style cafes dot the area for your culinary exploits. Egg tarts, anyone?! All but Hay Fever are on PERW.
* My suggestion is visit on your first full day to maximize your enjoyment of your finds. Friendly hours between 9:30am - 7:30pm.
* An unrelated side note for visiting overseas Hongkongers: there are a couple of school uniform stores along Pr. Edward Rd. W. at the market. If you’re looking for school emblems, these are the places. You’re welcome. 🤗

As the name suggests, this area has numerous florists that set up stands with inexpensive flower arrangments. They have some interesting plants, like bonsai trees & succulents mixed in, but for the most part, the quality is similar to any typical Farmer's Market florist. Since we were tourists, we couldn't really buy any of the flowers since we were in Hong Kong for a limited time. We spent about 15 minutes walking through this area and then headed to the next market.

What is the best time to visit Flower Market Road? For best display of flowers :)
Written June 28, 2018
Not sure if there is a ‘best’ time. It seems that the displays are plentiful all day. I went late morning and it was a spectacular riot of colors both on the sidewalks as well as in shops.

Hi Joyce, can't help with the rose price as we didn't look but there was a good choice of orchards $12-$20 if that is useful as a guide.

For one single rose, about 10 hk dollars, depending on whether it is rare or not. For a simple corsage for wedding, how simple is simple. If you make it clear it is for wedding, several hundred is minimum.

Can you buy seeds at the flower market? If so how much are they?
Written January 10, 2015
You can buy them there but they are not cheap compare to the U.S. prices. Also, if you don't live in HK I would be very careful as most countries don't allow to bring seeds inside the country.

Hi there,
I'm sure you can! They have an abundance of flowers seeds and flowers there so the choice is yours!
If you are shipping or taking just make sure you can because you don't want to get stopped crossing borders with seeds and have problems.
Have an amazing time!
