Summer is a great time to make the most of flowers. While sunflowers are truly the stars of summer, there are many other fantastic varieties that will add extra colour and joy to the season. We’re going to dedicate a bit of time this week to the amazing chrysanthemum and carnation bouquets on offer that will give any summer celebration an extra touch of happiness.
But first let’s look at why chrysanthemums and carnations could be the perfect summer flowers for your bouquet.
Why chrysanthemums are a summer favourite:
Luckily chrysanthemums are a cut flower you can enjoy in a bouquet all year round but they are fantastic summer garden perennials too. They love full sun and warm weather and come in many different colours. As if they weren’t colourful enough on their own, if you grow them in your garden they can also help bring butterflies, bees and other bright garden friends to your home.
Why carnations are full of summer joy:
Carnations are another colourful flower that love full sun and summer weather. The red, orange and pink and purple variants are perfect for reflecting the colours of the season and their bouffant link shape make them a flower that’s perfect for communicating joy all summer long.
