Summer in the Bay Area is complicated — it is 95°F in the East Bay and 62°F with fog in San Francisco on the same afternoon. Your flowers need to work for both. Here is the complete guide.
🌻 What’s in Season: June–August
- June: Peonies (early, last chance), roses (peak begins), sunflowers, dahlias (early varieties), protea, stock, delphinium
- July: Roses (full peak), sunflowers, dahlias (main season), zinnias, gladiolus, hydrangeas, lilies, lavender, California poppies
- August: Dahlias (peak), sunflowers, zinnias, rudbeckia, celosia, late-season roses, asters, king protea
California-grown summer flowers are exceptional. Many stems come from coastal and Central Valley growers who supply the San Francisco Flower Mart.

🌡️ Summer Flower Care
- East Bay and South Bay: Keep arrangements in air-conditioned rooms on hot days. Change water daily above 80°F.
- San Francisco and coastal: Fog and cool air actually extend vase life. Your flowers will last longer in the Sunset District than in Walnut Creek.
