Some flowers, like gerbera, lisianthus, and sunflowers, stand up to the heat; others, like tulips and peonies, are tender. With summer flowers, above all, it matters that they arrive fresh.
Summer is the season of the longest light and the fiercest heat. Even people find their breath unsteady before the heat, and for a flower that draws water up through a single stem, high summer is harsher still. So to send flowers in summer is, more than anything, to choose blooms that will linger through the heat and to hand them over without losing their freshness.
This piece sorts, with some precision, the flowers that stand up well to summer's heat from those that don't, what changes about summer delivery, and how to keep your flowers once they arrive.
Not every flower is weak in summer. Those that naturally grow in warm climates, or that have thick petals and slow water loss, keep their form fairly clearly even at the height of summer.
Hydrangea, too, is one of summer's signature flowers. Its full head holds all the mood of high summer, but it drinks a great deal of water and quickly bows its head if it runs short. Rather than tough, it is sensitive about water, so once it arrives, keeping the vase generously filled matters in particular.
Conversely, there are flowers that show their best in the cooler seasons. Those with thin petals or fast water loss tire quickly under high summer's heat and direct sun.
In summer, even the same flower has its outcome shaped greatly by the freshness at the starting point. The longer a flower lingers in warm air before it reaches your hands, the more its appearance changes by the time it arrives.
Arrive in Bloom prepares flowers brought in from the dawn auction and sends them out the same day. Because we work directly with the wholesale market and cut down on time spent in storage, the freshness in the moment they reach your hands is different, even at the height of summer. You can see for yourself how the flowers we sent really looked through real, unretouched delivery photos.
A summer flower lingers not so much in which bloom you choose as in how freshly it arrives.
For flowers received in summer, where you set them is half the work. Simply avoiding warm air and direct sun lets them linger several days longer.
Summer has its own flowers. The firmness of a sunflower, the tender double petals of lisianthus, the full head of a hydrangea — these are a mood you can reach only in that season. Rather than putting flowers off and blaming the heat, choosing the bloom at its clearest in that season and handing it over fresh stays longer with the one who receives it.
At Arrive in Bloom (이름꽃.com / flowername.co.kr), we choose the freshest summer flowers of the day and send them anywhere nationwide — same day, before each region's cutoff — with only the recipient's address and a single line of message. The hotter the season, the more freshness becomes the clarity of the heart.
Gerbera, lisianthus, sunflowers, and spray chrysanthemums are relatively heat-hardy. Sunflowers and lisianthus in particular come into season at the height of summer, keeping their form clearly even in high temperatures. Hydrangea is a summer signature too, but it drinks a great deal of water and is sensitive about water care.
Flowers that are at their best in cool spring — tulips, peonies, ranunculus, freesia — open faster and fade sooner under heat and direct sun. To send them in summer, they need a little more attention: a cool spot the moment they arrive and frequent changes of water.
Keep them in a cool, shaded spot, away from direct sunlight and the draft of an air conditioner. Water clouds quickly in the heat, so change it once a day or every other day, and each time, trim the stem ends again at an angle and remove any leaves sitting below the waterline.
Freshness at the starting point and delivery time matter especially in summer. Arrive in Bloom prepares flowers brought in from the dawn auction and sends them out the same day, working directly with the wholesale market to cut down on time spent in storage. Orders placed before each region's cutoff arrive the same day, and you can confirm how they looked through real, unretouched delivery photos.
The hotter the season, the more freshness matters most. Just write the recipient's address and a single line of message, and for orders placed before each region's cutoff, we send summer flowers brought in from the dawn auction and prepared that same day — same-day delivery. Order any time, 24/7, and confirm how they arrived through real, unretouched delivery photos. Inquiries 1666-6584.
