People who have summer birthdays are a lucky bunch—they’ve got glorious weather, sunny skies, and plenty of excuses to celebrate (all season long, if they want!). Heightening the mood and making any celebration more colorful is a great job for a flower bouquet. Any fresh arrangement is enough to bring a smile to your recipient’s face, whether you’re sending it to their doorstep or surprising them in person. Here are five of the most popular birthday flowers to gift to your favorite people this summer.
Dahlias
There’s nothing like the beauty of the charming dahlia. Throughout the season, dahlias bloom brilliantly. You can spot their vibrant petals from afar, each variety offering its own unique flair. Dahlias add a touch of grace to any bouquet. With their rich colors and textures, dahlias symbolize creativity and change, making them a thoughtful and striking choice for their birthday. The Sunset Bouquet is a great option. Peachy pink dahlias and roses are blended with orange pincushion protea to create a beautiful sunset of flowers.
Sunflowers
It’s nearly impossible to resist the radiance of the sunflower. Symbolic of happiness and vitality, the flower instantly adds a jolt of interest to any arrangement thanks to its size and rich color. Like a compact sun, the flower features distinctive yellow flowers that look beautiful either on their own or blended with other stems for an interesting medley. Sweet Season is a lush and vibrant option that is sure to bring a smile to any birthday celebrant’s face—the pink stock provides the perfect contrast in color.
Hydrangeas
Never underestimate the opulence of the hydrangea. The beloved summer bloom is championed for its lush, lofty blooms that offer a hint of classic, old-world appeal to your celebrations. They make a lovely addition to a garden party or a simple backyard barbecue. Pale blue hydrangeas are pure classics, but they’re available in a broad range of other colors, too. Lyla hydrangeas stand out with their pink and blue palette. No matter which you choose, you can feel good sending this on their birthday—the hydrangea is symbolic of grace and gratitude.
Roses
Few flowers compete with roses for popularity. While commonly given on Valentine’s Day, no rule says you can’t lavish your recipient with roses on their birthday! Have fun selecting an arrangement that you feel confident will brighten up their day. The Multicolor Rose Garden is a lively favorite and is just right for making their summer birthday even better.

Peonies
Lush and showy, peonies need no introduction. They’re truly magnificent flowers that steal the scene in any bouquet thanks to their rich texture. A single peony alone could liven up their desk or bedside table, but an arrangement featuring multiple stems just might be enough to stop them in their tracks. Peonies are available in a variety of colors, so you can easily find something radiant or understated for their birthday. The peony is symbolic of love, romance, prosperity, honor, and good fortune, which are all worthy sentiments for a special occasion.
Celebrate in style with a floral arrangement that’s fresh, colorful, and summery. The season’s best arrangements brim with vibrancy and lend any space incredible beauty and character. This summer, there’s no more fitting way to convey your best wishes.
