Summertime is filled with plenty of opportunities to celebrate. From birthday parties and cookouts to holiday get-togethers, you might be looking for the perfect surprise for a friend or family member. Here are three flowers that are perfect for summertime gifts, and which types of accent flowers and greenery go well with the blooms. 

Beautiful Summertime Flowers Perfect for Gifting

1. Peonies

From blush-pink hues to magenta blooms, peonies boast big, beautiful blooms, soft petals, and an alluring scent. Peonies are intricate enough to look great all on their own, although some additional soft greenery can help you to create a more balanced arrangement. Pair peonies with simple greenery such as fresh myrtle or eucalyptus. 

Peony floral arrangements are perfect for close friends or lovers, so remember to gift the arrangement along with a sweet card telling that person how you feel. 

2. Sunflowers

Sunflowers are the perfect homage to a warm summer’s day and ample bounty. Since sunflowers grow in force and are available in a large range of lengths and sizes, consider mixing different sizes of sunflowers together with other summertime blooms, such as wildflowers, zinnias, and hyacinth.

The dark center of sunflowers creates a stark contrast to lighter colors, making them the perfect end-of-summer, early fall floral arrangement. Consider gifting sunflower arrangements to summertime coaches or teachers as a way to say thank you. 

3. Daffodils 

Daffodils are an especially cheerful flower and are available in yellow on yellow or white on yellow color varieties. Daffodils look great when paired with other colorful flowers, such as tulips or even roses. Since daffodils are a more casual flower, choose roses that are fully bloomed and loosely opened to create a relaxed and beautiful bouquet. 

Gift daffodils to neighbors or children for special occasions. Offering a daffodil floral arrangement makes for a perfect hostess gift the next time you are invited to a dinner party or outdoor cookout.
