• Delphinium (Larkspur)

With its long inflorescence a real eye-catcher, the Delphinium is available in more than 300 different varieties.
Available in all kinds of colours, from soft pastel shades to deep intense colours. The sea blue and the dark blue variant are the most common, you often encounter these in a mixed summer bouquet but also everywhere in the gardens.

If you have a Delphinium in the garden, you can propagate it by means of the seeds or by dividing the root ball. The flowers are not suitable for consumption, several species contain poisonous species and are therefore not edible.

• Astilbe (Spirea)

Popular panicle flowers in various pastel shades, this native plant does well as a cut flower but also as a garden plant.
The flowers of the Astilbe are close together and together form a lush plume.

Because the Astilbe is indigenous, this plant is less suitable for our butterflies and bees.

• Heliuanthus (Sunflower)

The Helianthus or sunflower is best known for its large yellow flower bud and the seeds that are used for food and oil.

Sunflowers come in about 70 different varieties, of which the Helianthus annuus is probably the best known. This sunflower has a large flower bud with bright yellow petals and a dark brown flower center. They are often associated with sunlight because the flower heads rotate with the sun. You must have seen the fields when you were on holiday in France.

The seeds of the sunflower are edible, so they are often roasted and eaten as a snack, and they are used in meal preparation. Sunflower oil is widely used in food preparation and is also used as a biofuel.

Sunflowers in your garden have ecological value, birds, bees and butterflies benefit from this.

• Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William)

Colorful umbellifera with a small serration on the flowers, available in hundreds of variations and colours. Sweet William usually blooms in spring and early summer, the flowers have a soft sweet scent. Finders and bees love it. Because the Thousand Beauties blooms in early summer and has a very good shelf life in the vase, Thousand Schooner is often used as a congratulatory flower at the evening four days.

• Phlox

The Phlox is a continuous bloomer, new flowers keep opening. Dense racemes of flowers that open from bottom to top.
Many different varieties, all with their own growth and flowering characteristics, in all kinds of colors, but especially in shades of pink, lilac and blue-purple. If you want the Phlox in the garden, you can do so in the open ground, but also in a pot, there are varieties that grow high, but also species that remain low and creep.

Some types of phlox have a pleasant scent, especially in the evening when the flowers are pollinated by nocturnal insects.

• Leucanthemum (Margriet)

The Margriet, a flower with a characteristic appearance that resembles a daisy. White petals with a round yellow center, although there are also new varieties, for example in pink. Leucanthemum flowers often attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making them a valuable addition to gardens that support biodiversity.

The most famous daisy is the Leucanthemum vulgare, this is the variety you will find in gardens and in pots. The margriet used to be popular as a cut flower and you regularly encountered it in bouquets. Unfortunately, this flower has lost some of its popularity because many small growers have stopped growing.

• Hydrangea

Perhaps one of the most popular summer bloomers in the garden, you will find them everywhere in all kinds of colors and variations. Round bulbs but also plume-shaped flowers in colors ranging from cream white, all shades of pink and blue-purple and nowadays also new varieties in the color green and red. If you want to use a few hydrangeas from your garden in a bouquet, wait until they are well colored and have a heart of flower. Then you can enjoy your hydrangeas for an extra long time! If you want to put Hydrangeas in your garden or in a pot, take a good look at which type.

There are species that insects love.

• Gladiolus (Gladiolus)

Known from, among other things, the Nijmegen evening four days, this elongated stem with several funnel-shaped flowers. Each flower has six petals, with the bottom three often having a different color or pattern than the top three. Available in a range of colors and patterns, sometimes in soft pastel combined with bright patterns. Or just the opposite, brightly colored flowers with softly colored patterns.

Gladiolus grow from a spherical tuber, so they can also be planted in a pot. Please note that you do not choose a species that grows very long, Gladiolus can grow up to 150 cm long. The shelf life of a Gladiolus in a summer bouquet is good, the flower lasts a long time in the vase and slowly opens completely.

• Lupine

As far as I’m concerned, a flower that really radiates summer, long stems with colorful waving flower clusters. The lupine announces summer with its cheerful inflorescence in early summer.
A summer bouquet with Lupine in it always looks cheerful, but it is a pity that the Lupine does not last very long in the vase. After a little over a week, the flower has finished flowering, but you can be sure that you enjoyed this beautiful flower. In the garden you can see the Lupine in bloom for a long time, and because the Lupine is a perennial, the flowers return every year.

Lupine’s showy flowers attract butterflies and bees.

• Allium

Also known as the ornamental onion, a stunning cut flower that transforms any vase into one
