CLASSIC SUMMER FLOWERS

Some flowers are the embodiment of summer, like sunflowers and gladioli! But there are many other sunny blooms that announce the arrival of the hottest season: delphinium, gloriosa, gerbera, allium and lathyrus. Discover them all in our article about classic summer flowers. 

GET CREATIVE WITH SUMMER FLOWERS 

Throw open the windows, slip on your flip-flops and stroll down to your favourite florist with a wicker basket. Time to do some shopping. Not milk, cheese or eggs, but ingredients for a summery floral crown, a delicious home fragrance with the scent of summer, a refreshing ice glass with flowers and home-made lavender sorbet. 

SUMMER IN A VASE

And since you're at the florist anyway… Buy your favourite summer blooms for a wonderful summer bouquet. And don’t try to claim that it's too hot - our tips will help you protect your bouquet from the heat. After all that flower arranging you do deserve some chill-out time. Get something nice to drink - in your refreshing ice glass, obviously - and sit back.
