Which flowers tolerate heat best

Summer is great... except when you're shipping a bouquet in 95°F (35°C) weather. Some flowers don't like the heat - and we've seen it. But others? They hold up just fine, like nothing happened. If you don't want your bouquet to arrive looking like a wilted salad, read on. Here, we'll share the flowers that stand up to the test - tested in real-life shipments.

Why do some flowers wilt faster than others?

It's simple. Petals that are too thin, stems that are too delicate, not enough water - and the flower will lose its shape. On the other hand, there are sturdy flowers, often native to warmer climates. These are the ones to choose for summer shipments.

Our top 10 flowers that can't stand the sun:

Carnations If we had to put flowers to the test, carnations would come out on top. Even without air conditioning, they arrive in great shape.

Chrysanthemum

We often forget about it in the summer, and that’s wrong. It endures, it lasts, and it stays beautiful without any fuss.

Alstroemeria

Beautiful, colorful, and super hardy. Even delivered at 90°F, it stays stylish.

Lavender

Smells like a vacation. Lavender, even a little dry, stays gorgeous. It loves the sun.

Sunflower

Obviously The king of summer. It’s not even afraid of the heat. It’s made for it.

Gerbera

Bright, cheerful. It will endure if you moisturize it well before leaving. A little care and it shines.

Calla

Decorated, straight, elegant. It won’t flinch even at weddings in mid-August.

Orchid

Orchid Looks fragile? Wrong. It survives. Properly packaged, it will arrive like a king.

Lisianthus

Delicate, but not fragile. It tolerates heat well without losing its charm. Doesn't complain even when the thermometer is off the charts.

A few tips for successful delivery in hot weather:

Avoid midday. Choose morning or evening. Add humidity: a wet sponge or a capsule with water = your allies. The packaging should not be a greenhouse. Warn the recipient: upon arrival - directly into the water, not on the windowsill.

Conclusion Heat and flowers?

They are not incompatible. You just need to carefully choose the varieties, as you choose an outfit for the weather. A good bouquet, even at 30 °C (86 °F), remains a real joy, especially if it was chosen with care.
