Whether you’re looking for an arrangement for an occasion or want to decorate your home , you will be pleased to know there are some lovely blooms to select from. Keep reading to find out which flowers are perfect for this transitional period.

Why Are Flowers a Great Choice to Celebrate the End of Summer?

Flowers are the perfect choice to celebrate the change in a season as they can be used to symbolise ending of an era and fresh starts. Choosing late-blooming summer flowers is also a great way to extend the season for even longer. Afterall, September normally brings with it a nice amount of sunshine.

 

Although popular all year long, flowers are loved every summer as there’s always plenty of seasonal blooms to select from. They are even known as being mood boosters thanks to the cheerful colours and divine scents that are available. At a time when some people tend to start suffering from the negative impacts of seasonal changes, we believe flowers are the perfect addition to keep spaces feeling fresh and lively.

The Best Flowers to Select for Late-Summer Arrangements

Dahlias

Available in a choice of colours, late-blooming dahlias add a statement bloom to any arrangement thanks to their large petals. Furthermore, some established plants may even bloom twice a year, with the second being in autumn, making them even more special to use in arrangements.

Sunflowers

Sunflower fields are common in late summer as these impressive plants are always at their best during this time. This means they are known not just for adding a bright pop of colour to summer displays, but they are known for also symbolising autumn harvesting. Once the flowers have been enjoyed for their appearance, they are left to dry out so the seeds can be harvested. As this is normally carried out at the start of autumn, they are a brilliant example of a flower that represents both seasons.

Marigolds

Although Marigolds are continual summer bloomers, they are commonly celebrated at the end of the season as some varieties boast an orange-tone which is the perfect colour for representing both summer and autumn. 

Asters

Thanks to their daisy-like appearance, asters are also known for being a hardy perennial that boasts bright colours and delicate appearances which are perfect for celebrating the last days of summer.

Rudbeckia

Last but not least, we have the statement flower, Rudbeckia. Known for being vibrant, these blooms are ideal for late summer displays as they boast rich green stems and leaves which can also represent autumn foliage. They also come in a selection of colours, allowing displays to be tailored to any requirement.
