We have seen so many homeowners, commercial spaces, and event planners change the way these popular annual flowers are presented. From beautiful flowers paired with texture along with dried native florals for a touch of sustainability, it’s really been the year of the flower.
What Are Annual Flowers?
Annual flowers (or seasonal flowers) are plants that complete their life cycle in one season. This means they will grow from seed, bloom, produce seeds, and then die—all within the span of a few months. Annuals are popular among gardeners because they provide colour and interest to gardens throughout the growing season. Many annuals will bloom continuously from spring until autumn, providing colour in the garden for many months.
Our most popular annual flowers
Dahlias
Dahlias are a type of flower that is typically considered to be an annual. This means that they will only bloom for one season before needing to be replanted the following year. However, in some cases, dahlias may be classified as a perennial, meaning they will bloom for multiple seasons. Ultimately, whether or not dahlias are annual or perennial flowers depends on the specific variety. They make a fabulous choice for any bouquet.
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums are known throughout Asia as good luck flowers, with the gold and yellow Chrysanthemum specifically being associated with luck. These are both annual and perennial flowers that grow in a wide range of colours, perfect for bouquets! These flowers are not only beautiful, but also have a wonderful fragrance that’s perfect for filling any room with a touch of nature, making them an ideal gift for those who love a blossom.
Ranunculus
Ranunculus, also known as buttercup, are soft, dreamy flowers that evoke romance when they’re bundled together in a bouquet. They’re an annual flower that bloom for six to seven weeks. These flowers are popular in wedding bouquets, with their lovely colouring acting as a gorgeous contrast with white wedding gowns.
Snapdragons
Snapdragons is one of the more popular annual flowers and is available in shades of red, yellow, burgundy, and more. Along with the various colours they grow in, snapdragons have long vase life and offer numerous designs, making these annual flowers ideal for bouquets and arrangements.
