What you’ll discover below:
We’re bringing you some sizzling summer flowers this month!
So if you’re ready, here we go with the 5 Top Cut Flowers for July! As always, we share expert insights into this month’s hottest offerings and not-to-be missed flowers.
#1 Sunflowers | Helianthus
We know you’ll need no introduction to Sunflowers or Helianthus as you’ll find them listed; their Latin name.
Whilst the quintessential, traditional sunflowers are the knock-your-socks-off, bright, can’t-fail-to-make-you-smile yellow beauties, there are so many different varieties you can share with your customers.
So, whether it’s the dainty ‘Sonia’ sunflowers, the shaggy double Teddy Bear, spiky-looking, dark centred Panache, the lighter tones of Sunrich Light, Lioncello or White Nite – there really is a great range to choose from, especially in July. And that’s before we touch upon the bi-colour varieties, some of which are pictured below.
Sunflower Helianthus Marley
Sunflower Helianthus Ziggy
Sunflower Helianthus Flame
#2 Campanula
Campanulas are sensational in July. It feels like we say this for every flower, but the selection of Campanula varieties is growing. You only have to glance at the images to see the diverse selection.
However, picutured below is just a fraction of the range available, we have included a few bicolour varieties and a double flower, just so you can see how the selection is developing.

#3 Gladiolus | Gladioli
Whether you call them Gladioli or Gladiolus (as they’re listed), they are head and shoulders above the rest – quite literally.
There are few flowers that can provide the height of a Gladiolus. Stems reaching 140cm aren’t unusual, with the average being 120cm. The array of colours provides just about any hue, tint or tone you could want — from the purest white to a near-black. Whilst they may not be the easiest flower to put into a standard hand-tie, if you need to make a statement, Gladioli are perfect. There are few flowers that provide such a bang for your buck!
Remember to look at this section in the webshop — you’ll find a constantly evolving range with new colours and shaped heads to tempt you.

#4 Dahlias
Many of you will think this should have been the headline act – Dahlias!
They’re hot, hot, hot! They’ve made an incredible comeback and continue to be a top-trending, Instagram-worthy flower. The range of colours is one thing, but the shapes are widely diverse too. They are described as: Cactus, Semi-cactus, Pompon, Ball, Collarette, Single, Waterlily, Anemone, and Decorative. Phew! With that much diversity you’ll understand why we couldn’t share all of what available. However, below you’ll find a small selection to whet your appetite and get you in the Dahlia mood.
#5 Calla Lilies | Zantedeschia
At the last count, there were 319 different varieties of cut flower Calla Lilies, or Zantedeschia. So, you’ll forgive us for only showing a handful of varieties that showcase some of the colour diversity offered by these elegant, diverse flowers that are so loved by the flower world.
It’s true that Calla Lilies are available throughout the year. However, as summer well and truly arrives, so do a greater variety of Calla Lilies. That’s why we’ve included them in the shortlist of the 5 top cut flowers for July.
We have a page dedicated to Calla Lily | Zantedeschia in our Flower Library. We’re positive that you’ll learn something from this page, regardless of your experience – put us to the test and give it a read. It’s packed with helpful information.
