Flowers By Season

Whether you’re planning a September wedding, want to send flowers to your aunt in Hawaii or simply want to plant some flowers in your garden that won’t die, it’s important to know which flowers belong in which season. Some flowers are popular year-round, such as roses, and don’t have to be reserved for Valentine’s Day. Here’s a quick-reference-guide to flowers by season:

Great Summer Flowers:
· Sunflowers
· Lilies
· Irises
· Snapdragons
· English lavender

Fall Flowers:
· Marigolds
· Dahlias
· Zinnias
