If you are thinking that beautiful flowers are just a spring thing, then think again. Florists know that there are beautiful blooms to be had in every season, even in the UK, when it feels like not much grows past October. In fact, the British Isles have some of the most beautiful flowers in every season if you know where to look. So we have done the legwork for you and rounded up our list of the best flowers for every season in Britain, so you know what to add to your next flower delivery.
Spring
The classic flower season is naturally rife with beautiful blooms to choose from. Top of the list has to be daffodils, which are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. They are the traditional symbol of spring, and along with their cheerful colour and unique look, are always popular in a floral bouquet. Though don’t give away a single daffodil as this is traditionally considered bad luck.
If you are after something to add to your daffodils or just something a bit different and exotic looking, then hyacinths are a great choice. These spring bloomers make a bold impression in any flower delivery bouquet and are sure to add a spring to your step with their beautiful look and delicate scent.
Another great option is the tulip. Lots of people adore these fun little flowers, and because they come in so many colours, you can also make sure you send the right message if you’re having flowers delivered to someone. Pick yellow for friendship, pink for love, and blue for gratitude. And if you’re feeling peckish, feel free to nibble on tulip petals as they’re actually edible.
Summer
The sun is finally here and so are some of the most beautiful and classic British flowers. First on most flower shop’s lists will be peonies. These are insanely popular in summer floral bouquets at this time of year, as well as wedding bouquets and just to grow in the garden. If you want them for the gorgeous scent, then pink or white are the ones to go for.
Up next is the rose, yet another British classic that inspires awe and wonders across the country. Stick to red for romantic love, pink for family, yellow for friendship, and white for purity. Most bouquets will include roses during the summer because they are so popular.
If you are not a rose lover and prefer something a bit bolder, then sunflowers might be more your style. Eye-catching, these stunning beauties look amazing in gardens and floral bouquets. They are guaranteed to cheer up any space with their bright yellow petals.
Autumn
While many other plants and flowers are fading away in autumn, delilahs are springing up in full force, and their exotic look and bold colours are the perfect antidotes to the potentially dreary weather of autumn.
Another great choice for this season is Cosmos, which is a full-petaled flower of delicate colours and gorgeous scent. They are really lovely to look at, and their delicate petals perfectly encapsulate the autumn season.
Winter
It is often thought that nothing grows in Britain in winter, but there are plenty of flowers willing to prove this wrong. Snowdrops are a beautiful winter flower and marker of the season. Their white petals fit the motif of the seasons perfectly. But if you want something with a bit more colour, then pansies are your best bet. A bold purple or blue pansy can help keep the winter blues at bay. And most are available for fast flower delivery from a local florist.
