August Products
August: High Summer Abundance
August brings the rich depth of high summer to the British harvest, filled with intense jewel tones, rich textures, and late-summer focal blooms curated for peak event season.
- New Arrivals: Rose Lilies arrive early in the month, with Celosia, Zinnia, Lisianthus, and Fresh Hops follow towards late August.
- High Summer Staples: Dahlias, Gladioli, and Sunflowers continue in full flush.
- Seasonal Transitions: Iris takes a brief pause in early August before returning in September.
Design & Care
Pro Tip: Warm August harvest temperatures speed up bloom development. Always condition heavy stems like Dahlias, Lisianthus, and Zinnias in clean water with hydration gel, storing them in your coolest workshop space.
The "Last Call" List
Secure these ending varieties early as mid-summer blooms finish their season:
- Mid-to-Late August Finish: Allium, Achillea, and Eryngium (Sea Holly).
- End of Month Exit: Nigella, Rudbeckia, Scabious, and early Iris flushes.
