The warm vibes and sunny days of summer are invigorating for us, and summertime can also uplift certain flowers, making them more brilliant and beautiful than ever.
If you love the optimistic energy of summer and want to bring a taste of it indoors, we have some stunning flowers to recommend that are in-season during summer. Check out some of our favorite summer blossoms that make for lovely gifts and home accents.
Why Choose In-Season Flowers?
We offer an abundance of flower arrangements, including blossoms that may not be in season at the moment. You can order your favorite flowers from us year round because we work with brilliant farms and cultivators who nurture and grow all the most beautiful blossoms 365 days a year! However, in-season flowers will always have that extra oomph because they’re at their full potential. Simply put, in-season flowers will be fresher, healthier, more vibrant, and longer-lasting, so we encourage you to consider in-season blossoms when ordering flowers.
Roses
Possibly the most iconic blossom for bouquets, roses are in-season during summer. They’re technically a year-round flower but reach their peak beauty and vibrancy in summer. If you’re looking for a romantic and luscious blossom, it doesn’t get better than a fresh-cut arrangement of roses. And they come in so many colors that you have plenty of options.
Peonies
Peonies have always been one of our favorite blossoms, and they’re at their most sensational in summer! We have over a dozen peony bouquets that showcase how versatile and grand this blossom is. These fluffy and feathery blossoms are extravagant but also romantic and bashful. In fact, peonies symbolize bashfulness! A bodacious peony bouquet is a stunning gift for someone’s summer birthday or the perfect way to elevate your home and bring the cheerfulness of summer inside.
Ranunculus
A highly underrated flower in our opinion, ranunculus is a stunning flower that we think rivals roses. The petals have a mesmerizing layered and tight-knit appearance and come in just as many colors as roses.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are one of those bold and dramatic blossoms that don’t need any accompaniments to make a statement. These pillowy and fluttery-looking blossoms have a soft and royal appearance, managing to be ethereal and earthy at the same time.
Freesias
Freesias are dainty blossoms with smaller petals, giving them an elegant and delicate vibe. They come in a few colors, but white is easily the most popular because the petals have a velvety appearance, making them look creamy and sweet. While freesias are often used as filler, acting as the backup singer for larger blossoms, they deserve some solo appreciation!
Sunflowers
It’s easy to think of sunflowers when talking about summertime blossoms. Sunflowers are the epitome of bold and cheerful, with massive heads and buttery yellow petals. Nothing makes it feel more like summer than a ravishing bouquet of sunflowers and an ice-cold glass of lemonade, and we can help you with one of those!
Carnations
Many people see carnations as the less elegant cousin of the rose, but we refuse to let the carnation hate continue! Carnations are pillowy and ravishing in their own right, and we don’t want them to live in the shadow of roses anymore. We love using carnations in our arrangements to add volume, color, and texture, as they bring their own unique beauty that elevates any bouquet.
Delphinium
The last summer flower we want to highlight is delphinium, a unique and whimsical bloom that is a departure from the bulbous blossoms of roses, ranunculus, and carnations. We’re positively obsessed with delphinium, both as the star of the show and as an accompaniment flower.
