Top 5 Seasonal Flowers You Should Know About

Shopping with the seasons is one of the easiest ways to get fresher, longer-lasting, and more affordable flowers. Each season brings its own standout blooms, and knowing what's in season can help you choose arrangements that look and feel just right. Here are our top seasonal flower picks throughout the year.

1. Tulips (Spring)

Tulips are the quintessential spring flower, arriving in a rainbow of colors just as the weather starts to warm. Their clean lines and cheerful colors make them a favorite for everything from Easter to spring birthdays.

2. Peonies (Late Spring to Early Summer)

Lush, romantic, and only available for a few short weeks each year, peonies are one of the most requested seasonal flowers — especially for spring and early summer weddings.

3. Sunflowers (Summer)

Bright, bold, and full of energy, sunflowers capture the feeling of summer perfectly. They're a wonderful choice for celebrations, housewarmings, or simply brightening someone's day.

4. Dahlias (Late Summer to Fall)

With their intricate, layered petals and rich color range, dahlias are a showstopping choice as summer transitions into fall — perfect for autumn weddings and seasonal centerpieces.

5. Amaryllis (Winter)

Tall, dramatic, and available in striking reds and whites, amaryllis brings elegance to winter arrangements and holiday décor alike.

Why Seasonal Flowers Matter

Seasonal blooms aren't just prettier for the moment — they're also fresher, since they haven't traveled as far, and typically more budget-friendly than out-of-season imports. At SweetPetals, our Brooklyn florists design with the seasons in mind, so every arrangement reflects what's freshest and most beautiful right now.
