Summer Plants FAQs

What plants grow in summer?

The majority of plants that grow during the summer season are vegetables, though some flourish better in a cool season. Things like corn, beans, cucumbers, edamame, and eggplant grow best with full sun in mid to early summer. Your yummy harvest will look amazing on your tablescape next to your orchids and other Proflowers fresh flower bouquets!

Do summer plants make good summertime gifts?

Of course, summer plants make great gifts for the season! And though you might not think of plants as a first choice for a birthday present, they really are one of the most versatile, well-rounded options. They provide life, warmth, and natural beauty to any home. Plus, our potted summer plants will help to bring some of those bright, vibrant colors indoors.

Will summer plants last year-round?

The best part about ordering plants over flowers is that your recipient gets to enjoy their gift throughout the year. In many instances, summer flowering plants under the right care and conditions will last for years, blooming each and every summer, reminding your loved one just how much you care.

Who should I send summer flowering plants to?

Though plants are well-received by all people, think of those in your life who could use a little pick-me-up, or a reason to make them feel happier in their home. Maybe you could send one of Proflowers' potted plants to a parent or a sibling. Send gardening plants to a grandparent or a friend who really enjoys getting their hands dirty. And maybe even a bouquet of housewarming flowers for your sister who has just found her new forever home! With Proflowers, there is a wide variety of options when it comes to a beautiful, natural gift. You just can't go wrong.

How do I care for my summer blooming plants?

Each summer blooming plant has their own care requirements. For example, some summer flowering plants might require less watering during the winter or need to be moved from drafty windows. Others may be hardier and just need a little water and attention each week. Each of our Proflowers summer plants comes with care instructions, that way you can ensure it lasts a long time. Some plants may need full sun, full sun to part shade, or indirect sunlight. But you don’t have to guess—we provide all the information you need.

What summer plants should I order?

Choosing a summer plant delivery can take a little more thought than a bouquet of flowers.
