Summer in Dallas is a burst of color, heat, and vibrancy—and the flowers are no exception. While many blooms are at their peak during the hotter months, several summer favorites go far beyond the season. Whether you’re planning a wedding or sending a thoughtful gift, knowing which summer flowers thrive year-round can make your arrangements stand out every time.

Here’s a look at some of our top summer floral picks that stay stunning well beyond the summer sun.

Sunflowers: Bold, Bright, and Always in Style

Sunflowers scream summer, but they’re just as popular in fall-themed arrangements and cheerful bouquets throughout the year. With their large faces and sunny petals, they bring instant warmth to any setting. In Dallas, locally grown varieties bloom from late spring through early fall, but we source them nearly year-round from trusted Texas farms and greenhouses.

Whether you’re designing a rustic arrangement or a modern centerpiece, sunflowers offer that bold pop of golden color that never goes out of season.

Zinnias: The Essential Parts of Summer Bouquets

Zinnias are often overlooked, but they’re one of the hardest-working summer flowers out there. Native to hot climates like Texas, they handle our intense summers with ease. Their wide variety of colors—from hot pink to deep orange—makes them ideal for mixing into playful arrangements.

Zinnias are a local grower favorite thanks to their low maintenance and high visual impact. Plus, they’re available well into fall and can be dried beautifully for everlasting arrangements that keep their charm through winter.

Celosia: Texture That Pops

Celosia isn’t your typical bloom, and that’s exactly why we love it. With its flame-like or feathery texture, this summer flower brings a bold, modern twist to arrangements. Available in shades like magenta, coral, and gold, celosia thrives in the Texas heat—and keeps its form long after cutting.

Florists often use celosia in fall and winter arrangements, too, since its unusual shape adds contrast and interest when other blooms might be more subtle. It also dries well, holding its shape and color for long-lasting displays.

Marigolds: Golden Tones with Cultural Flair

Marigolds are more than just garden staples—they bring a rich, cultural touch to floral design. In Dallas, we see these summer flowers used in everything from parties to autumn festivals. Their deep gold and orange hues work just as well in sunny arrangements as they do in warm-toned fall decor.

What makes marigolds stand out is their symbolism. Associated with positivity and protection in many traditions, they’re a meaningful choice for gifts, celebrations, and special occasions year-round.
