Summer

A big bunch of floral inspiration

Summer arrives with a twirl of a floral teadress, wriggling painted toenails and sipping ice-cold lavender lemonade. Three whole months of bumblebees, butterflies, freckles and summer flowers. Is it any wonder that it's our favourite time of the year?

Summer is finally here! We've put together a huge bunch of sunny floral tips with which you can feel, smell and taste the summer.

Seasonal flowers

Some flowers are the embodiment of summer, such as sunflowers and gladioli. Yet there are many other sunny blooms that announce the arrival of the hottest season, from delphinium and flame lily to gerberaallium and sweet peas. Learn all about them in our list of classic summer flowers

A HOLIDAY FEELING WITH FLOWERS

Create your ultimate holiday feelings with flowers. Take some time for yourself - relax and enjoy the summer sun in the pool, during a city trip or in the mountains thanks to these bouquets. No excuses that it's too hot for flowers, because with our tips you can protect your bouquet against the heat!

SUMMER IN A VASE AND ON THE CLOTHESLINE

Forget the unwritten rules of crafting bouquets this summer. Buy cut flowers from your florist, pick wildflowers from the garden and combine them with indoor flowering plants and outdoor annual plants. In this way, you can create a lavish bouquet with flowers and plants that immediately puts you in a sunny mood. Are you a fan of dried flowers or do you want to enjoy your flowers for even longer? Then dry your flowers yourself. You can do that this summer, with the help of our ingenious clothesline drying method.
