The popular peony season is upon us in June - and it’s easy to see why they’re so popular. Soft blooms in pastel colours are all over gardens and ‘grams of the UK elevating them to almost cult status. These huge blooms are bursting with texture and colour and make a great centerpiece for any bouquet or arrangement - but be quick, their season only lasts a few weeks, adding to their exclusivity!
Other colourful blooms you’ll see over the next few months includes:
- Sweet peas
- Roses
- Delphiniums
- Lavender
- Snapdragons
- Mint
- Jasmine
- Hydrangea
As we go into July, more colour will burst forth in the form of:
- Sunflowers
- Poppies
- Dahlias
- Zinnia
Joined in August by:
- Foxgloves
- Cosmos
It’s easy to understand why everything looks better in the summer - the sun is shining, everything is bursting with colour, and fragrant scents fill the air. Options for arrangements are plentiful as so much overlaps from spring into summer, and continues thriving into August.
With temperatures rising, it’s important to keep your cut flowers cool and away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of your blooms.
