With summer almost upon us, it’s the perfect time to consider summer flower arrangements. From popping hues to seasonal blooms and more, there are options out there to mark any occasion and which can suit even the most discerning of tastes.
Seasonal blooms
Although blooms grown in different seasons can usually be purchased all year round, choosing seasonal blooms is highly recommended.
This is because they tend to last longer as they’re usually sourced locally – this means from being picked, they’re delivered directly to your door at a much speedier rate, without having to cross too many borders.
What flowers are in season in the summertime?
Whether you’re planning a floral theme for an upcoming event, such as an engagement party, wedding, or birthday, or you’re looking for an affordable bloom that is easy to source, it’s a wise idea to consider seasonal bloom times.
Different blooms naturally flower at different times of the year, which often makes a difference to the price and also to how long they last when they’re placed in a vase.
To ensure you’re a savvy flower shopper, it’s a good idea to research seasonal growth times. Asides from helping you to shop more efficiently for cut flowers, it will also assist you when growing flowers in the garden.
In terms of summer blooms, both spring and summer flower seasons tend to blend into one, with many variants being classed as late spring or early summer bloomers. In fact, the majority of flowers which are popular throughout the summer months, such as irises and lilies, bloom in spring and continue to bloom into the summer months.
Other popular summer variants include sunflowers, hydrangeas, gardenias, cosmos, daisies, peonies, azaleas, and snapdragons. Then there are zinnias, delphiniums, gladioli, gingers, asters, chrysanthemums, lilacs, freesias, irises, and numerous species of lilies to consider. Those purchasing summer bouquets will often find they contain one or a mix of these blooms.
