Seasonal blooming, or perfect flowers for every time of the year.
*The term “seasonality” can vary by region and flower variety. In this article, you will find information about the blooming season of various flowers.
Flowers always hold a special place in our lives, symbolizing beauty, and joy, and conveying hidden feelings. They decorate our homes, brighten up celebrations, and provide us with unique emotions in our daily lives. We are accustomed to some flowers like roses or chrysanthemums being available year-round, and after all, lilies are sold in florists for 365 days a year. However, behind this beauty lies something more – when the weather and day length combine to create ideal conditions for magnificent blooming – a unique time, the seasonality of each flower.
If you need iconic seasonal flowers delivered in Warsaw, the florists at Bloom Flowers are happy to help. In this article, we will discuss how seasonality affects the blooming of the most popular flowers and present flowers that are popular year-round so that you can enjoy their beauty all year long.
WINTER
Winter, with its frosts and barren landscapes, may seem like an unlikely time for blooming, but nature surprises us with its vitality and beauty even on the coldest days. Although the variety of colors may be limited compared to other seasons, there are still plants that bloom in winter, adding color to the dreary days.
Winter flowers are often used in holiday decorations for Christmas and New Year. By creating a festive atmosphere and coziness in homes, they embody new life and hope for the coming year. For example, during this period, you can find arrangements featuring amaryllis, hellebore, ornamental cabbage (Brassica), holly branches, orchids, and poinsettias.
At the beginning of spring, tulips, mimosas, and buttercups start appearing in florist shop windows, attracting the attention of passersby with their beauty. These spring botanical harbingers remind us of the approaching awakening of nature, rejuvenating and filling the gray streets with fresh scents.
SPRING
With the arrival of spring, a time of renewal and new ideas comes to floristry. Seasonal changes bring fresh scents and vibrant colors, inspiring florists to create unique arrangements. This period is full of diversity, rebirth, and joy, which is clearly visible through the windows of flower shops.
As the cold winter months give way to rising temperatures and the soil warms up, plants come back to life. With the first rays of sunshine, hyacinths, daffodils, irises, anemones, and freesias begin to bloom.
April brings more warmth and light, expanding the range of colors. Blooming tulips and daffodils are joined by fritillaries and anthuriums. In May, nature fully awakens, and florists are abundant with peonies and lilacs, viburnum, roses, and hydrangeas. Flower arrangements become especially lush and colorful.
SUMMER
Summer is the time when nature blesses us with an abundance of flowers. Seasonal summer blooms dazzle with a storm of shades and colors, and they also last long in bouquets due to their durability.
At the beginning of summer, delphiniums bloom, striking with their beauty and a wide palette ranging from white to deep purple. Stocks, with their white, pink, and lavender flower spikes, fill the air with a pleasant sweet aroma, creating picturesque landscapes. Alstroemerias, carnations, dahlias, and eustomas also begin to bloom.
In July, sunflowers join them, uplifting spirits with their sunny color. Daisies, with their simple yet charming white petals and yellow centers, create an atmosphere of joy and carefree days.
August brings the beauty of phlox and gladioli. Phlox delights the eye with a variety of shapes and shades, from pastels to vibrant hues. Gladioli stand tall and elegantly, decorating arrangements with their graceful spikes.
AUTUMN
In autumn, when most plants prepare for winter rest, asters, celosias, and chrysanthemums continue to bloom. Asters, with their star-shaped flowers, adorn autumn arrangements before the first frosts. Celosias amaze with their variety of shapes and colors, while chrysanthemums, symbolizing longevity and wisdom, are an integral part of fall decor.
Autumn flowers extend the blooming season, creating bright accents against the backdrop of wilting nature. During this time, callas, snapdragons, guzmanias, and hydrangeas in autumn shades also bloom. They are perfect for enhancing bouquets and interior decorations.
Choosing the right flowers is an art that requires knowledge and attention to detail, as well as consideration of seasonal characteristics. At our Bloom Flowers shop, we offer a wide range of both seasonal and year-round flowers, ensuring you can find the perfect blooms for any occasion.
Seasonal flowers offer many benefits. They are fresh and durable, as they are grown in natural conditions and do not require long transportation. This makes them environmentally friendly and affordable, allowing you to enjoy the true beauty of nature in every bouquet.
However, we understand that sometimes it’s not the season that matters most, but a specific event or special moment you want to celebrate. That’s why our shop offers popular flowers year-round, such as roses, carnations, hydrangeas, lilies, eustomas, gerberas, chrysanthemums, and alstroemerias. We are always happy to help you make the right choice and create the perfect bouquets for any occasion!
