In overseas territories, it's a bloomer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aster

'bloomer' is the definition.
(aster is a kind of flowering plant)

'in overseas territories it's a' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ASTER' can be found hidden inside 'overseas territories a'.

(Other definitions for aster that I've seen before include "Daisy-like plant" , "bloomer" , "Large daisy" , "Stare oddly at the flower" , "Flower of the daisy family - rates (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
