Starting a garden, or simply adding some colour to your kitchen or dining room with a display of flowers, the summer brings some of the brightest and beautiful flowers into bloom.
Here are some of our top picks for the perfect summer flowers.
Mandevilla
Need a flowering plant to grow up a trellis or fence? Mandevilla’s are a great option, and as long as they have some shade throughout the day, they should thrive throughout the summer.
Peonies
Sometimes a single peony in a vase is more than enough to bring some extra life into a dull room. To keep yours looking their best, avoid overwatering and plant them in full sunlight.
Lavender
Lavender is a classic summer flower and smells amazing! Also, it is easy to dry at home, which means you can have fragrant dried flowers throughout the colder months of the year as well.
Marigolds
It can seem like most summer flower are every shade of pink or red, but this golden flower offer a change. If you live somewhere with a hot and sun filled summer, these would be great flowers for your garden as they can endure high temperatures and constant sun exposure.
Gardenias
