Which Flowers Are Most Popular In the Summer?

When you buy flowers, you're supporting a surprisingly huge industry. According to Webinar Care, the floral industry is worth $5 billion in the U.S. alone. You can support a local floral shop by purchasing a summer bouquet! Here are the most popular flower options available each month of the summer. We'll break this list down by months to improve your decision-making.

June

The first official summer month often provides the most colorful flowers of the year. Expect plenty of pinks and reds, though you'll also see violets. The flowers most popular during this month will depend on where you live but typically bloom the best during this period.

Expect plenty of carnations, foxgloves, irises, lupins, foxgloves, honeysuckle, lavender, lilies, peonies, and roses. Note that many of these flowers may stay healthy well into July. However, they're most popular during June because they're at their finest in this month.

July

Typically the hottest month of the year in northern areas, July provides plenty of beautiful flowers. It's basically the best month for flower collectors because you'll have almost unlimited options. Last month's flowers may linger around, but plenty of new ones are available now.

Look for options like agapanthus, larkspur, hydrangeas, jasmine, love-in-a-mist, pot marigolds, sunflowers, tiger lilies, and more. The official birth flower for July is larkspur, which makes it heavily in demand. Thankfully, even a local floral shop should have plenty available.

August

While September still contains plenty of warm weather, August remains the last official month of the season. As a result, you'll start seeing some earlier-blooming flowers fading or dying. Thankfully, plenty of options remain for those who want beautiful flowers for their home.

Expect flowers like begonias, dahlias, cosmos, hydrangeas, marigolds, sunflowers, nasturtiums, and even poppies. You'll see a few popular earlier flowers on this list and a few new ones. Make sure to pair up these new flowers with your old ones to improve your bouquet.
